Burt Reynolds Trades In His Trans AM Jacket For Yankee Pinstripes (Well They Have The Same Name)

Posted February 22nd, 2012 by

Burt Reynolds is best known for his famous mustache and roles in legendary films such as The Cannonball Run, Smokey & The Bandit and  The Longest Yard, but we’re not talking about that Burt Reynolds.Thank god because the Yankees would make him shave that sweet ‘stache!

We’re talking about a 23-year-old Independent League outfielder the Yankees signed for their spring training minor league camp, as first reported by Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus.

 

He must have gotten this his whole life, but the 30th round pick from 2006 hit 13 home runs last season for Newark of the Atlantic League and will continue to be mistaken for the actor with the unmistakable lip sweater. Incredibly, CBS’ Jon Heyman says that Reynolds is Robinson Cano’s cousin

Let us know what you think
