Talk about twinning.

The Cubs, on their “unofficial” White House visit Wednesday to visit President Donald Trump, crossed paths with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. Ballclub owner Tom Ricketts stopped for a picture with the former presidential candidate.

Cruz shared a picture of the two on Twitter, and Ricketts and him look oddly alike. (In case you were wondering, Ricketts is on the left.)

But Ricketts isn’t the only person who appears to have been separated at birth with the senator. Duke guard Grayson Allen also looks similar to Cruz, minus several inches on the waistline.

For his part, Cruz played along with the throngs on the Internet, tweeting later in the day, “For some reason, ppl keep insulting Tom [Ricketts] by saying he looks like me. Poor guy.”
