This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty: The “Seperated At Birth” Edition 04-17-12

Ok boys and girls, it is time once again for yet another edition of Mets players separated at birth. This is where I try to take current members of the Mets roster and try to find their doppelgangers.

Well here goes nothing

                                                           First off is current Mets pitching coach, Dan Warthern

 

                                                                    And Oscar winning actor George C. Scott

 

 

                                                                    Next up is the Mets current set up man, Jon Rauch

 

 

                                                                            And Professional wrestler Kane

                                                                Next up is Mets first baseman, Ike Davis

                                                                 and D.C Comics superhero Hawkman

                                                                         Reserve catcher, Mike Nickeas

                                                                         and magician, David Copperfield

                                                                       Mets Loogy, Tim Byrdak

                                                                     and the New York Lottery Guy !

 

                                           And last – but not least – my favorite, Mets Pitcher Dillon Gee

                                                                               and a Amish man

 

Any other sugestions ?

And with that said… HERE COMES THE INFAMY !!!!

Mets alumni celebrating a birthday today includes:

Mets bench coach from the ’62 and ’63 seasons, Solly Hemus is 89 (1923).

One time Astro great and Mets hitting instructor from the ’03-’04 season, Denny Walling is 58(1954) .

Reserve player from the ’01 season, Gary Bennett is 40 (1972). He logged just one at bat(a hit) with the Mets before fading into obscurity.

Mo Vaughn thinks he is a dead ringer for Denzel Washington - I just dont see it !!!

    Brydak….the dollar and a dream guy.
    Hey, I’ve got the dollar and the dream. Maybe when all is said and done this year, we’ll win the baseball lottery.

    Byrdak looks a little like Al Leiter.

    Unless I am just nuts.

    I love the Warthen/George C Scott! I never realized the resemblance before. And of course, Ike and Hawkman.

      Then does Warthen look like General George Smith Patton, Jr.?

    Love the Tim Byrdak one. Probably the closest.

    Someone on Twitter noticed the resemblance between Duda and Zachary Ty Bryan from Home Improvment:

    I think I would’ve matched Gee up with a billy goat instead of Weird Al.
