The Cespedes brothers, Yoenis and Yoelkis, are not quite alike

CULIACAN, México -- After watching both of them play, it's practically impossible to avoid comparisons between young Yoelkis Céspedes, who plays for Alazanes de Granma on the Cuban baseball league, and his older brother Yoenis Céspedes, two-time All-Star oufielder in Major League Baseball.

Even though the Cespedes brothers are quite similar physically speaking, they are not exactly the same. At least not when it comes to this part of their lives.

Yoelkis, 19, is one of the most attractive names on the Cuban roster playing in the Caribbean World Series, staged in the city of Culiacán, located in Northeastern México.
