Brother versus brother nothing new for the World Series
Much fanfare has surrounded the upcoming Super Bowl brother-versus-brother matchup between Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, center for the City of Brotherly Love's team, the Philadelphia Eagles. The then-Cleveland Indians, their pennant secure after several members of the White Sox were banned in the Black Sox scandal, suited up for the 1920 World Series to face the Brooklyn Dodgers, also dubbed the Robins after their manager, Wilbert Robinson.
On Oct. 1, 1920, in an article titled,"This Brother Stuff Doesn't Worry Johnston Boys From Tennessee," Dean Snyder wrote,"They have no sentimental feeling about battling each other if they are sent in against each other in the big money series." They bet that the player with the least hits in the series would pay for the Meusel family's Thanksgiving dinner.
Irish would tell The Sporting News in 1963 that his biggest thrill in baseball was playing in three World Series against his brother.
