I, like bbb, initially thought of Satchel (Leroy Robert) Paige, since he was a teammate of Ray Boone in Cleveland. I looked him up on Ancestry.com, and found the 1910 census where he is listed as being 4 years old; confirming his 1906 birthdate. I then looked up a few other MLB grandfather/grandson combos and came up dry.
When clydepepper asked about the players being all major leaguers, and there was no reply, I suspected that meant the answer was in the minor leagues. Then when I saw the Ike and Luke hints, I immediately went back to Ray Boone, since I knew of Ike and Luke Boone. That's when I found Walter John Gilbert.
