Matty Alou, of the famous...

...Alou brothers of Major League Baseball (and uncle of Moises Alou), died at age 72. In 1963:

Jesús Alou joined his older brothers (Felipe was the oldest of the three) on the Giants, and five days later, facing the Pirates, the Alous became the first three brothers to play in a major league game in the same outfield. (Jesús made an error.) A few days earlier, they batted in the same inning, making all three outs.
