[net.sport.baseball] pitching brothers question

jay@npois.UUCP (06/11/85)

	So, do any of you guys that keep up with this stuff know
where the Niekro's stand compared to the Perry's? Seems like about
four years ago they were about 100 wins behind them, but definitely
ahaead of the Clarksons' and the Mathewsons' total wins record.
	Where are the Forsch brothers on the all-time brothers win list?
They should be well ahead of the Dean brothers by now (200 wins).
