Brothers in arms have been relatively common in baseball history. The San Francisco Giants boasted three Alou brothers — Jesus, Felipe, and Matty — in 1963.
The Ripken brothers, Billy and Cal Jr., even got to be managed by their father, Cal Sr., from 1987 to 1988.
But of all the brotherly teammates in MLB history, the Uptons may soon be the best of all.
In November, older brother B.J. signed a five-year, $75 million contract to join the Braves.
In January, the Braves completed a seven-player deal for Justin, who spent parts of six seasons in Arizona.
Now they're together in Atlanta, and how's that going so far for the Braves?
Well, B.J. is off to a rough start, batting only .103 through the first eight games, but he just hit his first homer — a game-tying moonshot in the bottom of the ninth a few days back.
Two batters later, Justin ended the game with this walkoff shot to right-center.
In fact, Justin Upton (under the blue-ish Powerade) has been on a tear, hitting six home runs in eight games and leading the National League in almost every important offensive category.
