A few years back I was speaking with my sister about how basketball was going with her sons. She said they were doing well, but that they should, given that their grandpa and great uncle were once quite the duo for Seattle U, despite being only 5'9. I didn't think much further about it (assuming it was probably somewhat of a fish story). So today I was reading about E.Washington's Grove brothers, and how their 58 points was a record for most points scored by brothers since 1953. So then, who did better? The O'Brien brothers out of Seattle U, my nephews' better side of the tree. Turns out they were a pretty big deal in the wayback: www.seattletimes.com/sports/seattle-university/after-a-happenstance-start-johnny-obrien-and-his-brother-eddie-took-this-town-by-storm/Anyway, enjoy the day, Grove brothers, someday your grandkids will Google you when something similar happens and realize you were a big deal once too.

This is quite an interesting story indeed, and quite a story to discover about one's family. The O'Brien twins were also great baseball players and went on to play several years in the majors, together first with the Pirates.
