No Problems Being in Their Brothers' Shadows

There are plenty of cases in both entertainment and sports where younger siblings in the same line of work are unable to move beyond the shadows cast by their more successful elder. Unfortunately, that situation often results in tension and bitterness, but not in the case of Bill Ripken and Chris Gwynn.

You are probably much more familiar with their older brothers, Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn, who were both enshrined in the baseball Hall of Fame yeseterday. Nobody was happier for them than their younger brothers.

Jerry Crasnick wrote a column about the brothers for ESPN.com. Both come across with a deep pride in their older brothers' accomplishments and no regrets about their careers.
