Miller, Millar, Mueller all on one team!
(Wade miller, Bill Mueller and Kevin Millar of the Red Sox)

Any other teams with similar names for multiple players?

I can think of three guys who were once on the same team, with the same name.

What's always bugged me is that everyone pronounces Bill Mueller's last name MIL-ler when for my whole life I've pronounced it MEW-ler. I suppose it's all personal preference and whatnot (Jeriome "Jeremy" Robertson always gave me a good laugh) but it just irks me.

Although, I suppose it would be fun if Millar was pronounced MIL-ler, as is the way Canadian show jumper Ian Millar chooses to pronounce it.

OK, here's the answer.
It was Felipe, Jesus and Matty Alou.
The brothers were all on the Giants team in '63, and on one occasion,
they appeared in a game together in the outfield, and batted in consecutive spots in the lineup.
