Surely over time you have heard the legend that each of us has our own double in the world. A real twin both in looks and character. And the confirmation seems to have arrived, with a few more similarities. To give to the baseball player Brady Feigl, who has found a person similar to him in all respects. A “double” not only because of his looks, but who even bears the same name and plays baseball just like him.
Let’s go with you sequence: The two discover the existence of the other in 2015 when “Brady 1” receives a “bizarre” call from the secretary of the doctor who operated on him six months earlier, world-renowned orthopedist John Andrews. “Excuse me, Mr. Brady Feigl, when are you coming for surgery?” the woman asks. Fate struck, in fact, the other Brady, the second clearly, had to undergo the same operation: reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow.
The “coincidences‘ between the two severalboth are minor league baseball players, both with hair and beard redsame first and last name, height and glasses from Opinion. Because of this, the Bradys decide to rely on DNA testing to confirm a biological link. In fact, the two differ only in date of birth and middle name: Brady Matthew Feigl was born on December 27, 1990 in Severn (Maryland), while Brady Gregory Feigl was born on November 27, 1995 in New York St.Louis (Missouri), with a distance of about 1400 kilometers.
The resemblance is so great that even the respective teams made a mistake with the tags on Twitter in 2017. The Ole Miss Rebels decided to take to Twitter to wish a happy birthday to one Brady Feigl (who was born in 1990) who was apparently the other (then involved with the Frisco Roughriders in Texas). “Wrong Brady Feigl, maybe you were looking for him,” he replied amused at the time and then marked the correct namesake.
So are the two related? According toDNA test result nois just a sensational case of homonymy and resemblance that cannot be traced back to a blood relationship.
A recent study picked up by the Sun shows that the Brady case does not appear to be the only isolated case. An August 2022 Cell Reports study of 32 couples found that unattached similar people do in fact share genetic similarities. The scientists who carried out the work also decided to subject the images of the doppelgangers to three different facial recognition programs. Nevertheless, the two Bradys feel connected: “Despite everything, we feel like brothers in a way.” And if they had known that beforehand, they probably would have exchanged questions or class tests. At least the name in the register, it was always like that.
