Has there ever been a brother-brother/pitcher-h... matchup?
I was just thinking this because I missed out by 1 year to face my brother in college. Has this ever happened in the pros before? I know there have been brother/brother position player matchups but I don't know about pitcher/hitter matchups...

The Niekros faced each other on the mound nine times, in NL games, so they batted against each other. There's probably a few other examples in addition to the ones mentioned.Phil and Joe Neikro would be my guess, maybe even the Perry brothers too.
George Brett had 20 plate appearances against his brother Ken.
Phil Niekro had 20 plate appearances against his brother Joe.
Joe Niekro had 19 plate appearances against his brother Phil.
