You And Me, We Are The Same.

People are often said to have a doppelganger, or lookalike, somewhere in the world. Things are about to go strangely crazy for Brady Feigl and another man with the same name as they learn about each other.

They recognized how similar they appeared after joining the same Texas baseball team. It was just a matter of time until they tested their DNA to answer all their questions after being fed up with how similar they look alike.

Brady Feigl

Brady Feigl, first Brady, was born in Dallas, Texas, and showed an early interest in baseball. He knew he was going to do this sport for the rest of his life and wanted to strive hard to make it to the top.

Feigl made it a point to get straight A’s in school and to thrive in athletics. He recalls his mother supporting him and encouraging him to seek a baseball career. Supportive parents really play a big role in their child’s life, especially those who are interested in sports.

That Other Brady

The next Brady Feigl was born in Houston, Texas, and grew up in the same way as the first Brady. As a kid, he enjoyed baseball. He also knew that this was the sport for him and by any means, he’ll make sure to play baseball.

However, unlike Brady Feigl, this Brady was adopted at an early age, but his parents were always kind and supportive. He was seen as more of a class clown than the original Brady, and that’s okay because we’re supposed to be different from one another.

What Is Our Common Denominator?

The Houston Brady was always curious whether he had any other siblings and was willing to meet them. When he learned that he was adopted, even though he had supportive parents he was still curious about his roots.

History

Baseball became the common ground between the two Bradys, allowing them to interact and bond. Both young guys understood it was something they wanted to pursue after their college studies were over.

College As A Back-up Plan

The Dallas Brady decided to major in political science in college, whereas the Houston Brady chose to major in accounting. They had different choices but their hearts beat for baseball.

Both Bradys had outstanding grades in school, but they recognized that political science and accounting were more of a fallback plan if baseball didn’t work out. They were still more interested in sports rather than making a career out of their college course.

Texas Rangers

The two were talented enough to make the MLB after their collegiate careers. The Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas, have accepted both Bradys. However, in the later part, struggles will arise.

Amazon When the two finally joined the rest of the team for practice, the coach and other players were aware that something funny was going on. And they stuck their noses right into something, enough for them to be curious whether or not, they’re related to one another.

Which Is Which?

When the coach first saw both Bradys, he couldn’t help himself from laughing hysterically at how they looked like the other. But this laughter will turn into frustration because he’ll be the first one to struggle.

The coach quickly realized that this is a severe issue. They shared the same name, which was really perplexing. Every time he called one of the Bradys, the other would appear. He needs to figure out something.

A Bright Idea

The Texas Rangers’ baseball coach had had enough with separating the two Bradys. This gave him the ideal solution for separating the two. Their coach’s idea became effective and now they’re known for their new names.

The Bradys initially assumed their resemblance was a coincidence, but the coach suggested the two could be related. This is also not far from being true given that they share quite a lot of traits with each other.

Weasley Twins

Fans of the Harry Potter series may recall Ron Weasley’s twin brothers Fred and George. Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley (née Prewett) had mischievous twin wizards named Fred and George Weasley on April 1, 1978. They were both skilled pranksters who co-founded and ran Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, a joke business.

The Bradys were very similar to the story’s red-headed twins. Because the Bradys from Houston were more of a class clown, they resembled the Weasley twins even more. This is where their new names will be coming from.

Taking The Joke Too Far

Because they were two similar-looking men on a baseball team, their teammates teased them mercilessly. It was so bad that they almost believed they were twins because everyone kept saying the same thing!

While it was amusing the first few times, the Bradys were starting to become irritated by the constant mocking. One of their teammates even suggested that they must share a mother because they look the same.

It’s Time To Talk It Through

While it’s true that the jokes made by their teammates were getting them irritated, the two Bradys thought it was time to talk about how they look like one another and that maybe there is more to this.

Daily Mail

They began by noticing their many similarities. They were both the same height, wore spectacles, and even had a similar sense of humor. There were, however, some differences that they possessed.

The Brady’s Differences

While the Bradys shared many traits, they also had some significant differences, starting from their physical traits down to their beliefs. However, this is the way it should be because even twins don’t share the same everything.

The Houston Brady had blue eyes, whereas the Dallas Brady had hazel eyes. They quickly discovered that the Brady from Dallas had a blue-eyed mother. Given that the Brady from Houston was adopted, there was a chance they shared DNA.

They Even Had The Same Operation

It could have been a coincidence that they were the same height, wore spectacles, and had a similar sense of humor. The Bradys then recognized something important to their story that they both just knew about.

Both of their elbows were operated on in the same way. They not only had comparable medical histories but the procedure was performed by the same doctor. How much coincidence is this story worth?

Even Their Doctor Was Confused

Dr. Dave Andrews had the pleasure of operating on both Bradys’ elbows, but it quickly turned complicated. Even this doctor was confused with who’s who and which is which because his patients almost looked the same now.

To Ellis Island

Between 1892 and 1954, many immigrants initially arrived in America at Ellis Island. One of the Bradys traveled to find out more about his German forefathers. By visiting the past, we’ll be able to have insights in the future.
