Lookalike Sighting: JA Happ

Since May, when JA Happ became a mainstay in the Phillies rotation, my mom and grandmother insisted that I look like him. I've probably watched the guy on TV for hours this year, and not once have I said, "Damn, I really look like that guy." I think there is a slight resemblance, but nothing too ridiculous. I was able to pretty much write it off as my mom and grandmother looking for things that really aren't there. I let the issue rest for a while, until it was interestingly brought up during the World Series. One of the guys at the client site who I would describe as a semi-serious Yankees fan comes up to me last week and says: "I was watching the game last night when Happ was pitching, and I said 'He looks really familiar to me. Where have I seen him before? Shit, he looks just like Jeff!'." He made it a point to tell me this early in the day, so clearly he saw a pretty striking resemblance. I've gone back and forth with a few people about whether I look like Happ or not, and the consensus seems to be mixed. I'm throwing it out for discussion right now: Do I or do I not look like the Phillies Rookie of the Year Candidate, 26-Year Old JA Happ?

2 interesting notes about Happ. Earlier in the series, completely unprovoked, Scotty sent me a text message that said, "I never realized how ugly happ was." I have never once mentioned to him that people think I look like Happ. Also, Happ and I share the same, how do I say, "follicle style." Take that for what it's worth.

I recommend you don't go just on the pictures I posted with the article, but do a quick Google Image search to get a good idea of what Happ looks like, and his resemblance to me. I'm looking forward to hearing the results.
