Joba Impersonator Meets Rollie Fingers

"Ryan Ward, a 29-year-old Asbury Park man who spent last summer impersonating New York Yankees relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain in the bars and bagel shops of Belmar, goes on trial today for charges related to his hardball shenanigans... But the larger question raised by this story - why everyday people become so star struck at the mere possibility of rubbing elbows with a major league ballplayer - is a question that Ledger Live** can tackle head on. To do it, we follow in Ward's footsteps, adopting the countenance of the most recognizable relief pitcher in modern day baseball history, and the guy with the greatest mustache on the mound: Rollie Fingers.

    Ward really does look like Joba. It is better than this guy... http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05197/539012-66.stm
