Most Prolific Sports Family

Recommended Posts

So...who do you think is the most prolific family in Pro Sports....

NHL:

the Hull's, the Sutter's, the Esposito's

MLB:

the Ripken's, the Bond's, the Boone's

NFL:

the Manning's

Can't think of any NBA family lines....

Breakdown:

I know the Sutters could win on sheer numbers, but he Hull's put up a ton of points between them. In the NFL...Archie Manning was pretty good, Peyton is a bonifide star and now Eli is in NY. Lots of HR's for Barry & Bobby...

I'm sure I'm missing someone...fill in the blanks

Thoughts?

Oh yea the Stasnys - Peter, Anton and Marion ... great line for the Nords way back when.

Don't forget the Howe's. Father Gordie (obviously) and sons Marty and Mark, although the latter 2 didn't amount to a hill of beans. I just remember Mark on the Red Wings for a while in the late 80's to early 90's. I know Marty did some head coaching in RHI (Roller Hockey International) back in it's day.

The Gretzkys I guess, even though Brent put up 5 pts or so.

Brent's 4 or 5 points, plus all of Waynes, are more than any other brothers have scored combined.

The Stastny brothers also have some sons playing college/junior. Paul Stastny is playing for Denver University now and is the son of Peter Stastny. Mat Stasnty is playing in the EJHL for the Bridgewater Bandits and is the son of Anton Stastny.

As for the Sutters, isn't it true that all of them agree that the oldest Sutter, who did NOT play in the NHL, was the most skilled of them?

Dang ... I did not know that they had a 7th brother!

Thanks for the info on the Stasny's. I heard the name for DU and figured he must be related. As far that the old Stansny line in Quebec ... Anton and Marion were the more skilled softer players while Peter was ... well Peter.

It is Dan Harrington (not Ted), but I believe all are cousins.
