On this day in 1963 Mets pitcher Carlton Willey retires the side in order. No big deal. For the first time in baseball history the three players were related. He retired pinch-hitter Jesus Alou, then pinch-hitter Matty Alou and lastly lead-off batter Felipe Alou.
As someone with a bunch of siblings, I've always liked the Alous.
I don't remember ever reading that!
