Two Identical-Looking Men With Same Height, Hair & Even Name Got Their DNA Tested To Find Out If They're Related
Two men with identical appearances and the same name had their DNA tested to discover if they were long-lost siblings. Their story has since gone viral on the Internet.
Have you ever wondered if there is someone out there who looks exactly like you, talks exactly like you, walks exactly like you, and even has the same name?How would you react?
Normally, one would suspect that they are related, but they were not aware of it. Well, it's not just a story; exactly this happened with two men from different states.
They found out that they look exactly like each other and even share the same name, but they had never met. The two headed for a DNA test, and this is what the result was. Check out the story that has been making heads spin on the internet.
Two identical men share the same height, hair, and even name
Two men with identical appearances and the same name had their DNA tested years ago to discover if they were long-lost siblings. Their story has since gone viral on the Internet.
Brady Feigl is a 6-foot-4-inch baseball player with the Oakland A's Single-A affiliate. Brady Fiegl, the other Brady Fiegl, is also a 6-foot-4 pitcher. He does, however, play for the Texas Rangers' Double-A affiliate.
They are both the same height, have red hair, and have beards. They even have the same spectacles. Everyone on the field and online naturally wanted to know one thing: are they long-lost brothers?
The two athletes were gathered for a DNA test by Inside Edition, which piqued their interest. It wasn't the first time a DNA test revealed the true identities of two people who appeared to be identical. But this instance was genuinely remarkable because the two Brads had so many things in common while knowing nothing about each other's pasts and leading such disparate lives.
What was the result of the DNA test?

That disparity¡ªor, more accurately, indistinction¡ªwas discovered on Twitter by Texas Rangers beat writer Levi Weaver, who tweeted head shots of two minor league pitchers who happen to look nearly identical, stand 6'4", and go by the name "Brady Feigl."
But, as difficult as it is to believe, the men have different parents and social security numbers because they were born five years apart and throw with opposite hands.
The DNA tests indicated that the very identical athletes, who lived practically identical lives, were in fact not related to each other. They did, however, share one significant feature.
Both have a similar percentage of Germanic ancestry (53%). They weren't linked to each other, though, because they didn't share DNA.
"We're still brothers in a manner," Texas Rangers pitcher Brady Feigl said. "And we're always going to be Brady Feigl," the other Brady responded.
