"Given the supply/demand employment gap in big league baseball (780 roster spots / →∞ aspirants), the odds of making it to the Show are long.  The odds against brothers doing so are even longer.  As for the odds of brothers making the Hall of Fame…well, Paul and Lloyd Waner did it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it to happen again.
