Today's Milwaukee Brewers lineup features three players whose fathers were big leaguers: Tony Gwynn, Jr., Prince Fielder, and David Bell.
This has me wondering if a lineup has featured more than 3 off-spring of major leaguers. Anyone have some thoughts on the matter?

Jaret Wright (Clyde)
Justin Speier (Chris)
Jaime Navarro (Julio)
David Segui (Diego)
Chris Haney (Larry)
Sandy Alomar Jr. (Sandy)

The Giants over the last two years have frequently started a lineup of Barry Bonds, Moises Alou and Lance Niekro.
