Although there have been scores of sons who have followed their fathers in playing major-league baseball, there are surprisingly few who have followed their fathers as managers. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Aaron [new Yankees skipper] and Bob Boone will be just the third father-son duo to both manage big-league teams. The others were George (St. Louis Browns) and Dick Sisler (Cincinnati Reds), and Bob (Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres) and Joel Skinner (Cleveland Indians). Nerd Note: Dick Sisler coached Bob Skinner while on the Cardinals in 1966.
