<< <i>I pick Paul Reuschal as the crappy brother. Rick was a pretty good player, winning 20 games at least once and winning over 200 for the crappy Cubs. >>
Paul was a relief pitcher who had a 5 year career, with a life-time 4.51 era and a 1.455 whip. Bleh.
Rick, on the other hand, enjoyed a 19 year career and finished with 214 wins, 2015 strikeouts, and a 3.37 era. Not quite a "crappy" anything.
Rick got 135 of his wins with the Cubs, and got the rest with the Yanks, Pirates, and the Giants.
At the age of 40, he started for the NL in the 1989 All Star Game. That honor is muddled by the fact that he gave up a mammoth lead off HR to Bo Jackson, then served up another to the next batter, Wade Boggs.
I disagree. He didn't suck THAT bad. He was one of the best defensive second basemen I've ever seen (personal opinion). Hitting, sure, he was sub-par, but I wouldn't call him crappy by any means. >>
Sorry but lifetime .247, 20 HRs, and 229 RBIs over 12 years = crappy, probably even really crappy.
Dewey Selmon simply pales in comparison to Lee Roy.
Eddie Murray had a brother play and he was so crappy I forget his name.
Steve >>
That would be Rich Murray.

In the same vein: Bubba had a crappy brother named Tody Smith. Tody? My buddy and I wondered who was the better of the crappy brothers. Dewey Selmon or Tody Smith. Both D-Linemen I believe.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
I collect Seattle Pilots autographs, 1969 Topps autographs, Signed Mickey Mantle Home Run History cards and have a JC Martin collection (he was my college Baseball coach) Doug
King Richard Petty, probably greatest Nascar driver ever.
Son, Kyle Petty, who always finishes at the back of the pack or wrecks. Miss Daisy should be driving him. >>
Hard to live up to the expectations of the Petty name. Although he had some relative success, I'll cut him some slack considering that his son died running practice laps.
How about John Paciorek? His brother Tom was in the majors for 18 years; John was in the majors for only one game. He had a heckuva game though: 3 for 3 with 2 walks, and 4 runs scored!
Carlester Crumpler - Alge Crumpler's Brother. Carlester never amounted to much as a Viking, and Alge had a year or two in the sun during the Mike Vick Area. Plus the names can't be beat!
Interesting choice. Most people say David was the best of the 5 brothers. I wouldn't agree - I think Kerry was. But whatever. If you're talking "crappy" Von Erich, you gotta go with either Mike or Chris. Or Lance, if you wanna include fake relatives...

<< <i>Do half brothers count? Because if they do, we could be here all day with NBA players. >>
This is the funniest comment I've read in a while. With the out of wedlock rate in Baltimore , around 93% , this may have even a deeper thought.
I have not read this entire thread but my vote goes out to Henry Mathewson , with a nifty (0-1) record stacked up against Christy Mathewson , winner of 373 games.

CDsNuts - I was just watching the Karate Kid the other night and recognized your icon from the final fight - it was some guy in the background on the "no mercy" team. Is that it or am I going crazy?

That reminds me. Steve Dawson, whose Hall of fame brother Len Dawson guided the Chiefs to their only Super Bowl victory.
Big Ed Frank Delahanty, HOF'er, also was joined in the big leagues by four of his brothers: Frank, Jim, Joe and Tom. Do you know about any of these four? Most do not.
I don't think anyone can top *that*: numerous crappy brothers joining him in the bigs.

What pun? I don't get it. Its just not obvious enough.
Its kind of like saying Dolly Parton is titilating.

Marty, Mark's brother was the crappy one. Mark was a All-Star player many tiimes.
<< <i>Vince Dimaggio, brother of Joe and Dom.
Can't include Dom, Ted Williams said he was one of the best players of their time. >>
Dom may have been a great player but he almost ran me over last year crossing Route 6 in Marion Mass.
Nice Jaguar though!

He was supposed to be the better pitcher, but he quickly fizzled out and Pedro came up and blew Ramon away.
