Prompted by this post from earlier this week:
Name the pair of brothers, each of whom is a member of baseball's Hall of Fame.
Pictured: Card #5 in the Topps 1988 set, featuring knucklers Phil and Joe Niekro. Phil is in the Hall, compiling a career record of 318-274 with an ERA of 3.35 over a 24-year career. Brother Joe (not in the Hall) compiled a career record of 221-204 with an ERA of 3.59 over a 22-year career. Their victory total gives them a ten-win edge over Gaylord and Jim Perry. Like the Niekros, only one of the Perry brothers is in the Hall. Unlike the Niekros (or any other siblings), each Perry won the Cy Young award at least once.
Joe and Dom DiMaggio?

And the Waners had such great nicknames, yes?

Big Poison and Little Poison, right?

Yes indeed!
