Alou family

Alou family

The Alou family is a prominent baseball family from the Dominican Republic.

Felipe Alou, the oldest of three bothers, was the first Dominican to play regularly in the major leagues. His younger brothers Matty and Jesús were both longtime National League outfielders, and his son Moisés is a current outfielder with the New York Mets. All but Jesús have been named All-Stars at least twice. The family name in the Dominican is Rojas, but Felipe Alou and his brothers became known by the name Alou when the Giants' scout who signed Felipe mistakenly thought his matronymic was his father's name.
