The Two Frank Violas

Author Frank Viola recently wrote a comical blog post distinguishing himself from baseball pitcher Frank Viola. Here’s an excerpt:

In a previous post, I explained that my childhood dream of being a pitcher in the Major Leagues was fulfilled (unbeknownst to me) by another Frank Viola.

Ever since my early 20s, people have confused this Frank Viola and that Frank Viola.

To prevent any further confusion, here are some things that differentiate us . . .

This Frank Viola has about 1/20th of what’s in that Frank Viola’s bank account.

This Frank Viola writes books and that Frank Viola signs baseballs.

That Frank Viola makes far more $$ signing baseballs than this Frank Viola does writing books.

This Frank Viola was born in NJ and that Frank Viola was born in NY.
