a good bro

[soberdennis]

What Major leaguer had a brother who won 2 silver medals in the olympics?

[Gee Walker]

Jackie Robinson's brother finished behind Jesse Owens in the 100 m sprint in the 1936 Olympics. There's one silver medal - was he in the relay? And with Owens and Jackie's brother, how did the U.S. miss gold in the relay?

I assume that Hitler didn't shake his hand, either.

I believe Mack Robinson finished second in both the 100 and 200. If he was in the relay, he won agold to go with the silver. yes , he was Jackie's brother.
As for the handshake, I don't know. But most books on the olympics say that story is blown out of proportion. I'm no fan of Hitler. I'm just stating what I have read.

Hitler was already gone by the time Jesse Owens ran. And, I could be wrong, but I don't think Mack Robinson was on the relay team.
Jesse Owens or not, Germany did pretty well those Olympics.

Stephen Larkin and Tony Gwynn both had brothers that won ONE Olympic Silver Medal.

I believe you are right about the relay. I don't think he won a gold.
Host countries tend to do well in the olympics. But now we are getting away from baseball.
Other questions about bb players with siblings in other sports.
1. His sister is considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
2. His brother took over for arguably the greatest running back of all time and became a good one himself.
Name both siblings.
