Hi all...
Been somewhat wondering about the best brother tandem-trio-sextuor (and so on...) that played a professional sport. I don't know much about Basketball, so I hope someone's gonna help me on this one. I MIGHT wanna poll this thread someday, but I wanna get more... say, inspiration before. Please no Staal family, but hypothesis as where they would rank are welcome! Please no answers in the like of Wayne/Brent Gretzky and Billy/Cal Ripken, too.
For Hockey (NHL/WHA -- European Leagues welcome)
- Maurice/Henri Richard
- Bobby/Dennis Hull
- The Sutter Family (individually, they weren't to the level of aforementionned players, but they were 6)
- Pavel/Valeri Bure (okay, not quite balenced, but Valeri had a sustainable career, at the very least)
For American Football (NFL)
- Tiki/Ronde Barber
- Peyton/Eli Manning
- Shannon/Sterling Sharpe
For Baseball
- Roberto/Sandy Alomar
- Ramon/Pedro Martinez
- Phil/Joe Niekro
- Jim/Gaylord Perry
- Joe/Dominic DiMaggio
My take on the subject are the Sharpe brothers from the NFL. Shannon Sharpe is seen as the best Tight End to play the game, and Sterling Sharpe career was cut short by a dreadful neck injury in 1994. He made the Pro Bowl 5 times (only missed 1991 in the 1989-1994 span), could have been easily a Top-10 in Receptions and Receptions Yards. Plus, Sharpe played for a team whose QB's were merely average -- and you can't count 1993-4 Brett Favre as something else than an average QB.
