Ray Boone's family is the only one I know of in MLB history that ever had a shot at a father and son in the Hall of Fame... and they didn't come close, I don't think... but all of them were pretty good major leaguers.

In a thirteen-year career, Ray Boone hit .275 with 151 home runs in 1373 games for Cleveland, the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago White Sox, the Kansas City Athletics, the Milwaukee Braves and the Boston Red Sox.

Boone was followed into the majors by son, Bob Boone, who was a really fine Gold Glove catcher for the Phillies and Angels from 1972 to 1990, and grandsons Bret Boone, who played from 1992 to 2005, and Aaron Boone, who played 1997 to 2009. The Boone family was the first to send three generations of players to the All-Star Game.
