Some athletes are predestined to be teammates or to compete once morest each other. The sports world gave us another gem of a coincidence on Thursday during an MLB game.
During the first game of a doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees, Jake Burger came to the plate to face pitcher Michael King.
It did not go unnoticed.
Michael Kay realizes that a Burger-King matchup is happening. ⚾️????????????????️

On the sequence, Burger was retired on a puck. I mean rolling.
Burger King et French Fries
This isn’t the first time this Burger has faced his alter ego on the pitch. Almost a year ago, Texas Rangers gunner John King made short work of him.

In addition to being close together, the jerseys appear in a consistent order. The “timing” is perfect.
