Really hard HR trivia

[Frayed Knot]

Orioles Jim Thome & Manny Machado recently became just the 4th pair of [u:3tx3qwtm]teammates to HR in the same game[/u:3tx3qwtm] where one was [u:3tx3qwtm]age 20 or younger and the other was at least age 40[/u:3tx3qwtm]

Name the other three pairs - I'll supply the years they happened just to make this slightly less impossible

1958 -
1971 -
1990 -

and also add that the younger of the pair in one case is in the HoF as is the older one from a different pairing.

1990 - Griffey & Griffey

That was the only one I got too.
They even did it back-to-back (and presumably belly to belly) on September 14th in Anaheim
Senior would only hit one more HR in his career (the next season)

Yes
I would have been guessing Bogart & Bacall before I came up with that duo.

1971: Willie Mays & Chris Speier

And my vision of keeping this one up all weekend waiting for the answer ends in about 10 minutes.

My first thought when it came to old sluggers was "Giants," given Horace Stoneham's love for his aging window-breakers. Knew '58 was Cepeda's first year and Mays had his last good season in '71 -- and remembered Speier was hot stuff. Then it was a matter of confirming dates and birthdays.

Good question.

Griffey and Griffey I knew right away but I never would have guessed the others.
