There are different ways to show love to a brother.

William Contreras found a new one on Thursday night. The Milwaukee Brewers star catcher threw out his older brother, Willson, on an attempted steal attempt.

Big bro Willson was on first base for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was smart enough not to test his little brother's arm on the pitch, but when the ball was in the dirt, Willson took off.

William said not so fast. You can watch the clip here.

It's actually not the first time William has thrown out Willson in the major leagues. Previously, William made a throw from the outfield to nab Willson at home trying to score from second on a base hit.

Willson is six years older than William, 33 to 27.

They both came up as catchers, Willson with the Cubs and William with the Braves. Willson has spent most of his time away from the position in recent years, while William's career took off after being traded to the Brewers.

Being in the same division, they see a lot of each other. Maybe eventually Willson will be wise enough to not test his little brother anymore.
