They hit in the three and four spot in the lineup for the same team for at least three seasons.

Example…. Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz

    Mays and McCovey
    Mantle and Berra
    Mathews and Aaron

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    All three are very solid choices. Eddie Mathews is the forgotten man now......what a power hitter!

    Not to the level of those mentioned so far but

    Olivia and Killebrew was very formidable in the mid sixties

    I remembered Oliva having 700 or so plate appearances most years and just always assumed he hit first or second. But you're right, he did hit 3rd, so that's a worthy addition to the list.

    Willie Davis
    Ron Fairly

    Nobody remembers who they are....but.....they got the job done. #3 & #4 in the lineup. A couple of World Series Championships ain't all that bad! THREE DOG and CLUTCH!.......

    I was thinking about the 1929-30-31-32 Athletics - Al Simmons and Jimmy Foxx- just cannot recall if they were 3-4 in the line up

    Hodges Snyder and Campanella - I know we limited the discussion to 3-4- my apologies for not recalling which of these guys were 3-4 and I suspected it changed alittle in the '49-'55 time frame
