People tell me I look like Jason Veritek! True story....I was walking through Home Depot near my house and I see Tim Wakefield and his wife down the aisle I am walking through (they live next town over) so as I approach them to pass, Tim Wakefield looks at me quick and then does a double take! He must have thought so too!!! Either that or he was taken by my freakishly handsome good looks!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Larry,

I think you are a little confused, Tim thought you were the guy on the left not right...
I've posted both pics so others can make their own judgment. Personally I can see the resemblance to the guy on the right?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Some blind bastard told me I looked like Robert DeNiro ... Years ago a painter chick told me I looked like Howdy Doody.. So I guess somewhere in between those two .

Back before my "salt & pepper" days I was told that I looked like Bill Weld when he was Governor. True story: A local bar had been going through some horrendous times with the city zoning board. The bar wanted to expand to the building next door so that they could be able to serve food and increase their capacity.
I was working in downtown Boston, so I was able to make it to one of these zoning board screw-job meetings. (if you've ever dealt with the zoning board, you probably experienced the same stupidity)
At the time, the head of the zoning board was Mickey Roache, ex-police commissioner.
As I walk into the meeting room (dressed in my work suit & tie) ALL head turned to me and the room fell dead silent! It took them a few moments to realize I wasn't HIM, but I got a kick out of it.

I've had people at the old downtown Woolworth's, a subway train and even in the bleachers at Fenway all say the same thing.
To this day I am known at this bar (by the owners and some bands that play there) as "The Governor".

Not sure whether that's more Mattingly, or more Boggs.

You guys decide
