Brothers Tony and Al Cuccinello hit home runs in the same game

On July 5, 1935, brothers Tony and Al Cuccinello hit home runs in the same game. Tony homers for the Brooklyn Dodgers while Al goes deep for the New York Giants, marking the first time that brothers on opposing teams hit home runs in the same game. Tony’s Dodgers go on to win the game at the Polo Grounds, 14-4.

The next time brothers homer in a game against each other will be on June 30, 1950, when Joe and Dom DiMaggio do it.

The Cuccinellos become the third pair of brothers, following the Waners (2) and Ferrells, and the first on opposing teams to homer in the same game when Al goes deep in the bottom of the ninth, The New York’s third baseman’s sibling, Tony, playing second base for the Dodgers, had homered in the previous inning.
