Question Which MLB pitcher has struck out the most fathers and sons? (That is, they struck out BOTH the fathers and the sons.) The question (and detailed answer) was presented in SI years ago....and I wish that I could remember it! (Nolan Ryan maybe?) I'll be forever in your debt if you can help me with this one. Dave Stevens :-)
Answer Hi Dave,
Thanks for writing.
Hmmm... I can't say for sure if Ryan had the most but he was the only one I could find some information regarding this.
Nolan struck out 7 father/ son combinations during his amazing career:
Father & Son Strikeout Victims
Sandy Sr & Roberto/Sandy Jr Alomar
Bobby & Barry Bonds
Tito & Terry Francona
Ken Sr & Ken Jr Griffey
Hal & Brian McRae
Dick Sr & Dick Jr Schofield
Maury & Bump Wills
