Apparently Adam Rosales is wearing Bobby Crosby’s old #7, and he looks a lot like the now Pirates shortstop.
This is not a compliment, nor is it funny!
“Oh my gosh, it’s unbelievable,” said second baseman Mark Ellis, who played alongside Crosby for his entire time with Oakland and counts Crosby among his best friend. “The first day I saw Adam, when I saw him swing the bat, it’s exactly alike, and the way he walks, everything. Then I saw him in uniform, and with the number and the socks up … it’s the same.”
Eric Chavez, who also played with Crosby from 2003 to 2009, did a double take, too.
“Totally,” Chavez said. “It’s so funny. We were laughing because he looks just like Bobby out there.”
OK, maybe it’s a little funny. But if Rosales starts swinging and missing at sliders away…
