A Yankee Killer Doppelganger

It's been far far too long since we've had a doppelganger up, and in honor of game 1 of the World Series tonight we have a doozy for you.  Please make sure to VOTE in the poll below as well as visit the permanent Doppelgangers page to see the many other fabulous doppelgangers we have assembled.

When he was hired by the New York Yankees to be their manager, Joe Girardi took the uniform number "27" to show that he was being brought in to win championship #27 for the franchise. With calls for his head after last year's disappointing non-playoffs finish, Girardi has somewhat redeemed himself by getting to the World Series this year. Then again, he completely mismanages his bullpen, makes decisions that seemingly make no sense and doesn't always deal with the press in the best manner. Exactly what you want from the manager of the highest paid team in the history of baseball. Despite lacking opposable thumbs, in Jurassic Park the velociraptors prove to be the most deadly killing machines in the park. Sure, T-Rex has all the size, but look at those puny arms, the raptors meanwhile hunt in packs, communicate with one another and can jump and run like they're in the Olympics. Basically, if it's you or them, they're going to win. You don't mess with the raptors or they'll cut you in half, here's hoping the Phillies can likewise eviscerate the Yanks in this series.

Don't forget to VOTE BELOW only YOU can make sure this doppelganger makes its way to the permanent page!
