Two doppelganger baseball stars with same name take DNA test to see if they are related

Two baseball players with the exact same name and near identical appearances have taken a DNA test to uncover if they're actually related - after years of being mixed up for one another. Brady Feigl, 32, is a Long Island Ducks pitcher living in New York, while his doppelgänger, Brady Feigl, 27, plays for the Las Vegas Aviators.

The strangers, who are the spitting image of one another, are both 6ft4in tall, with vibrant red hair and glasses, the Mirror reports. They were first mixed up in 2015 by Dr James Andrew, after he coincidentally performed the exact same elbow surgery on both patients.

Younger Feigl said around six or seven months post op he was contacted about when he was reporting for surgery. The bizarre situation is what led to the discovery of his undeniable lookalike. Feigl explained: "He was like, 'He had it six months ago. What are you talking about? That’s how I found out there was two of us."
