There have been over 350 brothers to play in Major League Baseball history.
In some of them, the older brother was the better player. Hank Aaron was easily a better player than Tommie Aaron. Paul Waner was better than his younger brother Lloyd, but both are in the Hall of Fame.
So, out of all the brothers to play at the major league level, which of the younger brothers were better than their older siblings?
I came up with a list of 20 younger brothers who were better than their older brothers. Some may surprise you because you may not know they had an older brother in baseball (I know a couple of them surprised me).
This list is not in any particular order, just who I consider the 20 best younger brothers in baseball history when compared to their older brothers.
Let’s start with the active players.
