Phillies Brotherly Love
The Philadelphia Phillies have seen nine different brother combinations play for the team in their 133-season history.
Of those nine combinations, a half-dozen actually were teammates, donning a Phillies uniform together at the same time. However, the last of those combos took the field together a half-century ago, and most were early in the 20th century.
The first brother combination to play for the Phils were Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty and his brother Tom Delahanty, who played together in the 1894 season with the Phillies. Tom appeared in just one game, going 1-4. He would appear in just 19 big league games, with four different organizations, the last appearance with Louisville in 1897.
