MLB Families

[notin]

Probably asked before, but this is tough to research.

 

The Blue Jays might call up Vlad Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette and Cavan Biggio this year, all of whom are sons of Major Leaguers. And they recently released fellow legacy Dwight Smith Jr, who pummeled the Sox last week.

 

Three sons of major leaguers is definitely not a record. But what is for one team? The 2012 Dodgers appear to have used 6. (Ivan DeJesus Jr, Tony Gwynn Jr, Jerry Hairston Jr, Dee Gordon, Justin Sellers, and Scott Van Slyke.). Is this the record? Can anyone name a team that ties or betters this number?

 

Also what team had the most fathers of future MLB players? The 1976 Reds had four (Tony Perez, Pedro Borbon Sr, Pete Rose Sr, and Ken Griffey Sr). That can’t be the most, can it? And did I miss someone from that team?

 

Thought?
