A Pink Doppelganger for Luck

When he arrived on the scene, the portly Bobby Jenks was a godsend to the Chicago White Sox, helping lead the team to victory in the World Series. Since then he's been an efficient closer, with an 88% save rate and is very noticeable out on the field for his large girth and long goatee, which he often has bleach dyed. Last year for Mother's Day, Jenks and several other White Sox dyed their facial hair pink to honor their mom's.

Back in the day, you were no one if you didn't have at least 50 troll dolls arranged around your house or desk. With their silly hair, and protruding bellies, the dolls were supposed to help bring luck, although they were more likely to instead bring dollars to their manufacturers instead. It's possible that rubbing Jenks produces good luck, but you're also likely to induce noxious gas...regardless, I think it's fair to say these two share quite the resemblance.

For all the other doppelgangers, make sure to visit the permanent page here, and also please vote in the poll below!
