Something interesting that is sometimes discussed is the fact that all of us have a twin. They may not share the exact same bloodline as we do, but those twins often share many things about us, sometimes even the way that we look.
According to scientists, there are about six people who would fit that description somewhere in the world for each one of us. You can call them twins, doppelgängers, or anything else that you want, but the fact that they exist is practically undeniable.
Considering the fact that there are billions of people on the face of the planet, it is unlikely that you are going to come across your twin anytime soon. On occasion, however, they share more than looks in common, and when that happens, the world might even take notice.
Take, for example, a pitcher for the Long Island Ducks named Brady Feigl. He has a doppelgänger, somebody who looks almost identical to him and funny enough, he is also a pitcher, but he plays for the Las Vegas Aviators. By the way, they both share the same exact name.
Both of the Brady Feigls are 6’4″, they both have red hair, red beards, and when you look at their glasses, you can’t help but notice that they wear the same style. Obviously, when they ran into each other, they would have some questions.
One of the Bradys said that he had surgery and when he was coming in for the operation, he was contacted. The funny thing is, he had the surgery six months earlier.
He described it as such: “I was probably six or seven months out of surgery and their office called our trainer and said, ‘Hey, when’s Brady reporting for surgery? Is he getting down here tomorrow?’
“He was like, ‘He had it six months ago. What are you talking about?’ That’s how I found out there were two of us.”
Neither of them had met each other before, and outside of their family, they didn’t know anyone with the same last name. Once people started pointing out the similarities, they decided that answers were needed.
The two of them went for a DNA test to see if they might be related or perhaps even long-lost brothers. The surprising thing from the DNA test was that they weren’t related at all.
Both Bradys had identical Germanic ancestry levels, coming in at 53%. On other levels, including personality, they were very different. Despite the fact that they aren’t identical twins, the fact that they both play baseball, they are glad that they met each other. They even consider themselves to be brothers in a way.
