Here is a complete set of fathers-and-sons who played Major League Baseball, sorted by the FIRST sons date of debut in the majors, as that is when they officially became a father & son duo.  "Any minute, any day, some player may break a long standing record. That is one of the fascinations about the game, the unexpected surprises." - Connie Mack (father of Earle Mack) Of all the fathers and sons who have pitched, Ed Walsh has the lowest career earned run average (1.82) and his son, Ed Walsh (Jr.), happens to have the highest career earned run average (5.57)! Did you know that Mel Stottlemyre and his sons, Todd and Mel (Jr.), have had the most strikeouts of any other father and son combination? Do you know who the first black father-son combination were? It was the Hairston family [Sammy -> Jerry -> Jerry (Jr.)] who recently joined another family combo when their grandson broke in with the Baltimore Orioles during the 1998 season. To compile our list of Major League Baseball's greatest father-son duos, we used Baseball-Reference.com's Wins Above Replacement (WAR) as a rough guideline, giving preference to pairs in which both players achieved significant success (at least 10 career WAR).
