Two families man the infield

[dukecrunchybagel]

We all know that in the sixties, the Giants had all three Alou brothers play the outfield in a single game.

What is less well known is that sometime after the Alou's feat, the Reds had a game in which all four infield positions were covered by members of two families.

Can you name the four infielders involved?

Boone's and Larkin's

Exactly right.

On Sept 28, 1998, for Fan Appreciation Night, the Reds starting infield consisted of brothers Barry & Stephen Larkin at SS and 1B, and Bret & Aaron Boone at 2B and 3B.
The Larkins batted two and three (Barry & Stephen), followed by Bret Boone in the #4 spot and Aaron in the #6 spot.

Aaron would hit a three-run to win the game for the Reds.

Bret would be traded that off season to the Braves for (with lefty Mike Remlinger) for ace southpaw Denny Neagle, OF Michael Tucker, and prospect supreme Rob Bell.

This was Stephen's one and only game for the Reds -- he went 1 for 3.
