Brothers B.J. and Justin Upton hit 100th career homers on same night | Big League Stew - Yahoo! Sports
That is so cool. Obviously something that will probably never happen again in the history of MLB.

B.J. and Justin Upton first made baseball history together when they become the first brother duo ever to be selected first and second overall in the baseball's amateur draft. In 2002, B.J. was drafted No. 2 by the Tampa Bay Rays. Three years later, younger brother Justin went No. 1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Incredibly and ironically, the brothers would make a little more history together on Friday night, each connecting for solo home runs about one hour apart to give their teams 1-0 leads.
That's not historic you say?
Well, you're right. What is historic, however, is that the home runs were the 100th of their respective careers, making them the sixth brother duo to achieve that milestone according to Elias, and without question the first to do it on the exact same night.
