I heard he had a brother. Did they play together?

I was going to guess Ozzie and Jose till I looked and Ozzie never hit one out of the park.

Correct! Billy and Cal Ripken Jr. also did it twice, Sept. 15, 1990, and May 28, 1996.

Of the remaining 3 sets of brothers, there 4 HOFers in total.

Well done: Lloyd and Paul Waner did it twice (Sept. 4, 1927, and Sept. 15, 1938, Pirates) and Rick and Wes Ferrell (July 19, 1933) are the only pair to do the feat for opposing teams, with Rick homering for the Red Sox against his brother Wes who was pitching/hittingfor Cleveland.

The Boyer guess was a great one. In Ken’s first World Series, both he and his brother Clete (playing in his 5th Series with the Yankees) homered in the seventh game, the only time in World Series history that brothers have homered in the same game, as the Cardinals prevailed. But it was not in the same inning to my knowledge.

One more pair remains, and one of the brothers is the most famous of all.

Based on your hint above, I'm guessing Hank and Tommie Aaron.

Ding Ding Ding! One of Tommie Aaron's 13 career Home Runs occurred in the same inning as one of Hank's 755 on July 12, 1962.

Great job everybody!

What's shocking is that my answers came directly from memory- no additional research...guess I'm not gone yet, huh?
