These 10 baseball players have uncanny doppelgangers in old artwork
"Surely there was a person who looked just like me in a famous work of art from hundreds of years ago" is a common thought shared by many people as they lay in bed. Until recently, that was the best we could hope for -- just thoughts. Then Google updated their Arts and Culture app and suddenly, the truth was revealed. Everyone on the internet wanted to see who their artistic doppelganger was.

Yes, Pence is the Man in the Yellow Hat from the Curious George stories.
Well, the "Prince of Orange" part is right if nothing else.

Alternate title: "Death of a Salesman."
A smile bright enough to light an entire block.
Is this a look we should expect from Stroman next year?
Would anyone really be surprised if Martinez styled his hair like a golden cap?
We always knew Bryant was a Victorian aristocrat. We just didn't have proof.
Sadly, Vin Scully never called Kershaw, the "van Gogh of pitchers."
I can only hope that Kluber's alias is "Thomas Cool."
