BROTHER’S BALLS

Submitted by ub on

After the Cleveland Indians changed their name then two brothers were hired to help them hit the ball out of the parks.

They are from Canada and they sure can hit a couple of home runs. They homered for the Cleveland Guardians in Friday night's game against the Texas Rangers, making them the first set of brothers to go deep in the same game in franchise history. 

There was no brotherly glove in the major leagues that was able to steal this historic feat from the two of them.

My late father was a true baseball fanatic and Cleveland was his favorite American League team. Since the 'Indians' came into existence he's had plenty of favorites over the past 100-plus years. I had the pleasure of meeting Minnie Minoso and Bob Feller, whose name he chose for me. Feller was the greatest Cleveland Indians player of all time, Bob Feller is still popular among Tribe faithful. In an incredible 18 seasons went 266-162 for the Indians, with three no-hitters, 12 one-hitters, and 44 shutouts. Eight-time All-Star holds club records for wins (266), strikeouts (2,581), innings (3,827), and walks (1,764) despite missing over three years due to World War II. Likely never to be anyone as good on the mound as Feller, his #19 is retired and a spot in the press box is still maintained for the Indians legend. But I digress.
