Felipe Alou
Relatives: Brother of Jesus Alou, Brother of Matty Alou, Father of Moises Alou, Cousin of Jose Sosa and Uncle of Mel Rojas
Does anyone know of any similarly large (or, even better, larger) MLB-playing families?

I came across this on Baseball-Reference.com:

Off the top of my head there's the Bells, and the Boones, not sure about extended families though.

It's easy to find the brother/father/grandfather relations, the extended ones don't seem to be readily available anywhere.

There's also the Hairston's and I seem to remember reading something about Jayson Werth being the grandson and nephew or something like that of former
players.

'found this on b-r.com; however, (1)
it's not restricted to MLB players, and (2) it's incomplete ... e.g., I notice that Jose Sosa isn't included in the Alou/Rojas Family description.
An interesting read nevertheless.

All of the Yankees are Pedro Martinez' daddies.
