Fathers and sons

The Raines -- Junior, left, and Senior -- with the Orioles in 2001

Tim Raines joins his son, Tim Raines Jr., in the outfield 23 years ago today during the Baltimore Orioles’ 5-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox before a Thursday night crowd of 43,302 at Camden Yards.

The Raines duo becomes only the majors’ second father-son combo to play in the field during the same game, following the Griffeys – the Kens, Senior and Junior – with Seattle in 1990-91.

The Raines family later comes within a year of reuniting in the minors with the Class AA Harrisburg Senators as Tim Jr. plays for them in 2006 while Tim Sr. becomes their hitting coach in 2007.
