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. Steve

No way to know for sure that the Gilbert/Boone duo was a unique answer.
The Narron triple play seems almost entirely vaiid as an alternative, but if I wanted to split hairs, Junior's major league career ended in 2004 (more than 10 years). In the minors he lasted until 2011. Interesting that the grandson was named after Gramps and that Dad apparently couldn't hit a curve ball. Dewey turned my single into a grand slam though and deserves a standing ovation.

How did Frank miss that one?
 As a bit of esoterica, none other than Josh Donaldson was on that Dominican team. Last edited by Peter_Spaeth; 05-16-2016 at 10:04 PM.
