Apparently, this is what people in San Diego think I look like in a baseball cap.
Truth is I really look more like this.
A gas station attendant a few weeks ago, after realizing I wasn't actually David Wells asked if I was related to him. Of course I told him I wasn't, but then got this disbelieving look from him. "Are you sure?" he asked me.
Yeah, whatever. Quite sure.
There really aren't any benefits to looking like a major league pitcher. I mean, it's not like women come up to you and ask if you're David Wells. You just have baseball geeks asking you about it. Also, Wells is 41! The last thing I want is to feel like I look 41. Thanks, guys, that's not exactly a compliment.
At least if I had his income, I wouldn't care...
So, I showed this post to my friend Melissa, which prompted this little IM salvo:
melissab: LOL!
melissab: that TOTALLY looks like you!!!
Drew: you're not helping
melissab: well... he DOES NOT look like he is 41..
melissab: and you REALLY DON"T look 41!!!
Drew: thank you
I guess it IS funny....
Just ran a technorati sweep and found you are linking me.
Thanks! (And I say you definitely need to work a bit of that baseball look-a-like magic. I totally do not follow baseball. (The last time I did Johnny Bench was catching and Pete Rose was doing his famous head first slide.) BUT a friend of mine was just mistaken for a basketball player (just because he is so damn tall.) Next thing you know him, Jordan, Pippen and some other folks are sitting in the VIP room of some club...in Vancouver!) Hope my blog is of interest. I appreciate any suggestions. And I will do my duty to google that woman in your recent post! Regards, MKD

LOL. You totally look like him. Use it to get into the VIP areas at the clubs and stuff, and to get free cars at dealerships and stuff, and girls, and stuff.
