Last night, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton hit his 100th career homerun in a game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Normally, a player hitting his 100th career homerun isn’t all that remarkable. But an hour later, his older brother B.J. Upton hit his 100th career homerun for the Tampa Bay Rays in a game against the Baltimore Orioles.
If Mel Allen were still alive, he’d say, “How about that?”
You can see the video of both homeruns here.

Indeed, how about that? It's a nice night in the Upton household.

Yes, but the brother act that hit the greatest number of Major League homeruns were the Aarons.
