I enjoy your Fab Five lists. Sometime I'll drop you an e-mail about growing up in StL. You seem to have been quite a few places I also know!
Some years ago I read an interesting study of siblings in professional sports. It turns out that the second kid gets a big advantage, probably from play and practice with older, stronger competition. But what I found amazing was that more than 700 (!) pairs of brothers have played in MLB. And that was as-of maybe ten years ago, surely it's close to 800 now.
Stan,
