Former MLB player and coach Steve Sax mints Babe Ruth NFT on the blockchain to raise foundation funds
Steve Sax, former MLB player, spoke with Fox News Digital about how he digitized a painting titled "Babe and the Kids" and minted it on the blockchain as an NFT to raise funds for a family foundation in honor of his late son, Capt. John J. Sax.
The MLB is full of family ties.
There have been over 400 sets of brothers who played in MLB. Of these 400 plus combinations, there have been almost 100 sets of brothers who were also teammates.
Many brothers who have had the same name on the front and back of their jerseys have accomplished incredible feats together.

On Sept. 15, 1963, the Alou brothers, Felipe, Jesus and Matty, all appeared in the outfield during the game. This marked the first and only time an MLB outfield has been played completely by brothers.
A few brothers have won the World Series side by side, including Mort and Walker Cooper. They won the World Series with the Cardinals, not once, but twice. They are the only brothers to have ever won multiple World Series titles with the same team, according to the MLB. The brothers first captured the championship in 1942 and then for a second time in 1944.
Brothers Dizzy and Paul Dean also found luck with the Cardinals, winning the World Series together in 1934.
Jim and Gaylord Perry are also notable MLB teammates and brothers. They are the only sibling duo to have won the Cy Young Award, according to MLB.
There's also Lloyd and Paul Waner, the only MLB brothers who were both inducted into the Hall of Fame as players, according to the professional baseball league.

There are also quite a few sets of twins that have played on the same MLB team. The most recent pair is Taylor and Tyler Rogers, both pitchers for the San Francisco Giants.
Other MLB twins who have played for the same team are Joe and Red Shannon, who both played for the Braves in 1915, Eddie and Johnny O'Brien, who played for the Pirates from 1953 to 1958, and Jose and Ozzie Canseco, who played for the Athletics in 1990.
