Great stuff!

For starters, I'm guessing the Coveleski brothers - Stan and Harry - have the most 20 win seasons.

Just off the top of my head I'm guessing the homer questions (1 & 3) are the Aaron's and the batting titles (5) are Harry and Dixie Walker.

Coveleski's are correct.

Aarons are the answer to one (but not both) HR questions.

Walkers are correct.

I would guess that the Niekros and the Perrys are probably the only two pairs of brothers named to all-star teams.

Though I'm probably wrong.

0-for-2, Bill - I should clarify - two brothers on the same All-star team. Perrys and Niekros all made it several times, but never together.

I thought this was a great movie!

Matty and Felipe as all-star teammates? Can't imagine Jesus on an all-star team. (Some might beg to differ).

Wouldn't want to go 0-3...

Bill

Dizzy and Paul Dean for question 2?

How about the Meusels for RBI guys? Can't imagine the Dimaggios other than Joe leading in RBI. The Delahantys, maybe?
