Even Jonny Gomes' kids can't tell him apart from Mike Napoli

Contrary to popular belief, the Red Sox aren't hosting a top-secret human cloning project. Mike Napoli and Jonny Gomes' shaved heads and full beards just make the teammates look an awful lot alike. If you've ever gotten them confused, take comfort -- you're not alone, even among their own families.

As Gomes told ESPN.com:

... I am aware everyone thinks me and Napoli are twins. If you're looking for a difference between us, I'm an outfielder and he's an infielder. It kind of happened on accident. My kids think Daddy is on TV when he's hitting. Even my kids are getting tricked. Since we have been kind of blending together, we keep running with it. We purposely sit next to each other and get our haircuts together so we look trim.

He's not kidding. Twiiiiiiinsies:
