With the first month of the MLB season in the books, I've noticed an alarming number of celebrity lookalikes on the baseball diamond so far this year.  Last month, I did a college basketball "Separated at Birth" post (here) of collegiate hoops players and their celebrity lookalikes.  This month, here are some MLB players and their "Separated at Birth" twins.

Exhibit 1 - Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny and Larry the Cable Guy

Do you think Penny asked the Dodgers if he could cut the sleeves off of his jersey?

Exhibit 2 - San Francisco Giants pitching phenom Matt Cain and Bobby Hill from the animated TV series "King of the Hill" 

I wonder if Cain says, "I said, 'Good Day, Sir!' " to each batter he strikes out.

Exhibit 3 - Boston slugger David Ortiz and stand-up comic George Wallace

Big Papi seems like a pretty funny guy, so if he were to switch places with Wallace, people probably wouldn't notice.  However, I'm guessing if Wallace were to don a Sox uniform, things might not go as well. 

Exhibit 4 - Phillies slugger Ryan Howard and Rapper KRS-One

The Teacha meets the Hittah.

Exhibit 5 - Arizona manager Bob Melvin and former "America's Funniest Home Videos" host Bob Saget

I'm guessing that showing a bunch of videos of people getting hit in the nads is easier than being a Major League manager.

Exhibit 6 - New York Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon and the Geico caveman

Geico, so easy even a New York Yankee can do it?

Exhibit 7 - Former journeyman reliever Will Cunnane and the kid from "Deliverance"

Brings new meaning to the term "banjo hitter", I guess.

Exhibit 8 - Arizona closer Jose Valverde and former "Fresh Prince" star Alfonso Ribeiro

Carlton Banks throwing 90+ mph cheese.  It just doesn't look right.

Exhibit 9 - Reds reliever David Weathers and Tackleberry from the "Police Academy" movies

I wonder how many times a day Weathers gets called "Tackleberry" or if he can sit and watch a "Police Academy" movie without wanting to throw his TV set out the window.

Baseball, sunny summer afternoons, frosty beer, and pitchers who look like Larry the Cable Guy.  What more could you ask for?  Play Ball!
