Anyone else notice that Hatteberg looks a lot like Johnson?

Yesterday when Hatteberg drove in Crosby, I could have sworn he was Johnson. I was utterly confused, because the broadcasters kept saying "Hatteberg" and I kept expecting them to correct themselves. Even when they zoomed up on his face, I still thought it was Johnson until I realized that Hatteberg had shaved off his beard. They have similar builds (Hatteberg's 6'1", 210 vs. Johnson's 6'2", 220), they both bat from the left-side, and can't say for certain since I haven't seen the A's much on TV this season, but they look like they have very, very similar batting stances. The only big difference is that Johnson's now sporting some facial hair (which I was unaware of). It's uncanny.

When Johnson first got called up, we called him Scott Jr.

Funny and true.

Had the feeling they were clones.

It's freaky.

Johnson = the freakish clone of Hatteberg and Byrnes.

Excellent

Good thing you put this in its own diary.

Wow

You're totally right. And guess what I just figured out... Bobby Kielty looks just like Ronald McDonald! Can you believe it? :)

One Differnce

I believe that Johnson has an open stance and Hatteberg doesn't.

He did, but I didn't

Roscoe is a name my old English teacher gave me. I needed a last name to go with Roscoe for a project and I added Parrish because I always like the real Roscoe Parrish when I used him in NCCA Football 2005. I then began to use Roscoe Parrish as an alias and pen name since then, including here at AN.
