The three Alou brothers: Felipe, Matty, and Jesus, all played together in the same outfield for the SF Giants

On September 15, 1963, Felipe Alou started the game playing in right field. In the seventh inning, Felipe changed positions from right to left field after Jesus Alou replaced Willie McCovey (who started in left). In the eighth inning, Felipe changed positions from left to center field after Matty Alou replaced Willie Mays (who started in center). The San Francisco Giants outfield at that point was Matty (LF), Felipe (CF) and Jesus (RF) - the first, and through today, only all-brother outfield trio in baseball history.

Watched Willie Mays and McCovey hit a bunch of home runs against the Pirates
in the late 60s in a double header. Ended playoff hopes for the Pirates. Never saw an arm
like Clemente's.
