Dane and Garth Iorg?

Guardian, you are correct on all three counts. Rick and Paul combined for a shutout against the Dodgers in the 70's.

The Deans have the distinction of one throwing a shutout and the other a shutout and no-hitter in a doubleheader. Oddly, it was Paul who had the no-no - Dizzy never threw one.

Meusels are correct for RBI. And Bob did it while a teammate of Ruth and Gehrig, who were no slouches in the RBI department.

No, the Alou brothers were never on an all-star team together, in any combination.

So we are stuck for answers to #7 and 8.

Hints

#7 - all four players are carded here, and one of each pair of brothers are regularly used in live draft leagues.

#8 - one of the brothers is not carded in this set, and the other is regularly used as a DH in low cap leagues.

I'd go with Joe and Dom Dimaggio as one of the answers to #7.

#7: Dom and Joe DiMaggio (AL), Mort and Walker Cooper (NL) all played in the 1942 All-Star game.

#8: Joe and Luke Sewell, Cleveland Indians, 1920s

I'm afraid you're going to have to revise your answer, because Matty and Felipe were both named to the 1968 National League team.

that must have been the year they were 1 and 3 in the batting race? Felipe with SF and Matty with Pitt....

My bad. I should have checked further. Also Roberto and Sandy Alomar Jr. were in the 1990 ASG, but on opposite sides (Roberto still with SD), and on the AL team together in 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997, and 1998.
