When William Contreras<\/a><\/strong> won World Series MVP on Wednesday night, he didn\u2019t add another piece of hardware to his trophy case. Rather, the 28-year-old cemented his family\u2019s legacy. With three combined World Series titles between him and Willson Contreras<\/strong><\/a>, the two became the sixth pair of brothers in major league history to win the Fall Classic a combined three times. Here’s a look at the other pairs of brothers to accomplish the feat.<\/p>\n

Irish and Bob Meusel<\/h4>\n

Irish Meusel<\/strong><\/a>, the oldest of the two, won back-to-back World Series titles with the then-New York Giants in 1921 and 1922. He was especially impactful in the latter, hitting .331 with 132 RBI that season.<\/p>\n

The following year, Bob Meusel<\/strong><\/a> won his first World Series title with the New York Yankees<\/a>. He won two more with the team, in 1927 and 1928, driving in 100+ runs each season as a part of the team\u2019s iconic \u201cMurderers Row\u201d lineup.<\/p>\n

Clete and Ken Boyer<\/h4>\n

Clete Boyer<\/strong><\/a> won the duo\u2019s first two trophies with the Yankees in 1961 and 1962. He made his mark in both postseasons, posting OPS\u2019s of .821 and .833, respectively.<\/p>\n

Ken Boyer<\/strong><\/a>, meanwhile, followed suit two years later. After winning the 1964 National League MVP award, he hit two home runs that postseason to lift the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> over the Yankees in the Fall Classic.<\/p>\n

Jesus and Matty Alou<\/h4>\n

Jesus Alou<\/a> <\/strong>and Matty Alou<\/a> <\/strong>combined to win three straight World Series titles with the then-Oakland Athletics from 1972 to 1974. Matty won the first of the three, although he registered one hit in 24 at-bats in the 1972 Fall Classic.<\/p>\n

The following season, Jesus joined the Athletics midseason via trade and hit .306 in 36 games. He fizzled out in the postseason with a .222 average in 13 games, but he aided his family name with two more titles.<\/p>\n

Livan and Orlando Hernandez<\/h4>\n

Livan Hernandez<\/strong><\/a> famously became the second youngest World Series MVP in baseball history, capturing the award at 22 years old with the Cardinals in 1997. His brother, Orlando Hernandez<\/strong><\/a>, then won three consecutive titles with the Yankees from 1998-2000. He later joined the Chicago White Sox<\/a>, posting a 5.12 ERA in 2005 but winning his fourth World Series title.<\/p>\n

Bengie, Jose, and Yadier Molina<\/h4>\n

The only trio on this list, the Molina brothers won a combined five World Series. Bengie Molina<\/strong><\/a> and Jose Molina<\/strong><\/a> won the first two, helping the then-Anaheim Angels win their first championship in team history in 2002. Bengie never won another, while Jose was a part of the Yankees\u2019 2009 title-winning team.<\/p>\n

Yadier Molina<\/strong><\/a>, meanwhile, carved out his own legacy by winning the 2006 and 2011 World Series with the Cardinals. He hit .412 and .333, respectively, cementing himself as an all-time great in the organization.<\/p>\n

William and Willson Contreras<\/h4>\n

Willson debuted in 2016 and immediately helped the Chicago Cubs<\/a> end their 108-year title drought. Five years later, William helped the Atlanta Braves<\/a> win their first championship in over 20 years in his second season. Five years after that, William won his second World Series title and first World Series MVP as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
