If you're looking for the greatest baseball dynasty, you have to consider the Alou brothers. Three exceptional ball players—Felipe, Matty and Jesús—hold a joint first as the first 'three brothers on one team' when they all played for the Giants against the Mets on September 10, 1963.

Between them, they gather World Series rings, All-Star appearances, and batting championships before moving into the back offices of various clubs and influencing countless up-and-coming players, including Felipe's son Luis (who would go on to manage the New York Mets in 2019).

It's Felipe Alou we're going to highlight. As well as seventeen years playing in the majors, his fourteen years of managing put him in rare company… only himself, Joe Torre, and Frank Robinson have racked up 2000 hits, 200 home runs, and 1,000 managerial wins.

All that is ahead of him. For today's classic game, Alou is Milwaukee’s lead-off hitter as they visit Shea Stadium in a doubleheader against the New York Mets. The Braves took the first game 8-2. Can they build on their 10-10 record for the year?
