Re: Who's who?(22)...

so bruce and steve wilhelm woudl be a better answer here, as i think Bob Feuerbach was only a mid 19m thrower, hence probably not ranked

Re: Who's who?(22)...

Bob threw 19.51 and was No. 8 in the U.S. Rankings (not list) in ’78.

>oh ok thanks, so am i right on both answers then?>>

only 79 knows the ansewr to that!

So the next question is, if the Feuerbachs and the Wilhelms are the only brother-brother squad to get U.S. Rankings in the shot, who's the only father-son duo?

<who's the only father-son duo>

I love this one. Bit on the smaller scale, but fun.

In 1956 at Long Beach Wilson HS in Calif. as a soph under Vince Reel, I knocked my dad off the school's top ten list. He threw 49'-7" in 1932 and I made 50'-1/2". Pop was so proud.

And papa Joe wasn't an American citizen when he was throwing; never a U.S. Ranker.

Re: Who's who?(22)...

Rufus, your answer about the WIHELMS brothers
is the good one.
