I think if we changed this to less successful sons of baseball playing fathers it could go on for years.

Dad Clarkson and Walter Clarkson, brothers of John Clarkson.

Even with a murdering brother that only played 3 years I think it is safe to say that Bill's career was the under achieving career. Even with Marty's mental issues teams found ways to keep him in the line up until the mental issues finally took him and his family down. Where as Bill, in a 11 year career, only hit above .200 once (and that was still a low .227 in 1903).

I wouldn't call Sandy Alomar Jr. Underachieving he played 20 years batted well above his weight and for what it's worth (if anyone believes this is a defense) he was a 6 time all-star
