NEW YORK -- For the first time in two decades, the Boone brothers will be in opposite dugouts when the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers meet for a three-game series at Yankee Stadium this week.
Back in 2005, Bret Boone and his little brother Aaron -- whose father and grandfather were major leaguers -- were in their 30s and nearing the end of their careers as third-generation players. This time, Aaron is in his eighth season as Yankees manager and Bret is in his third week as Rangers hitting coach.
To celebrate the unlikely occasion, they had dinner together Monday after not seeing each other since spending Christmas together in San Diego.
