Baseball Players and Their Doggy Doppelgangers

Dog Days of Summer: Baseball Players and Their Doggy Doppelgangers

According to old school baseball players the phrase “dog days of summer” refers to the time between July 3rd and August 11th.  It's during this 40-day stretch that the temperature and humidity reach their highest points of the season and often times teams fall completely out of contention.  To celebrate the dog days almost being over we decided to compare some baseball players to their doggy doubles. Oh and we also tip you off to some great prices for upcoming Braves games.

Afghan Hound x Noah Syndergaard Just look at the long, flowing locks on these two. Syndergaard and the Afghan are like Sampson with that hair. It's the source of their powers. Cut it off and they're just a dude and dog. With it, they are unstoppable forces of nature. Well, Syndergaard is at least.

Jake Arrieta x Bull Mastiff  Maybe this is why the Cub's superstar grew that face blanket?

Ricky Nolasco x Boston Terrier  That's some serious shade.

Nepalese Mullet Dog x Dansby Swanson We wonder if this dog's "hair flow" is as awesome when he's stealing home.

Chihuahua With Swollen Cheek x Chipper Jones With Dad Bod We are happy to report this dog's swelling went down shortly after this photo was snapped. Chipper's swelling has also gone down. He looked like he could still start for the Braves in a recent appearance for the Kansas Stars.

Bulldog x Don Zimmer (R.I.P.)    Don Zimmer maybe proof that man actually evolved from dogs.

Coton de Tulear x Bill Belichick We know Belichick has nothing to do with baseball but this comparison was too awesome to leave out.
