Florida man pretends to be Red Sox pitcher
Status: Impostor

Henry's wife picked up the phone and said, "Bill Henry isn't dead. He's sitting right here in the living room."
It turns out that the Bill Henry who died was an impostor, a man who had been falsely claiming to be the former Red-Sox player for decades. Even his wife of nineteen years didn't know the truth.
The real Bill Henry says, ""It's just amazing someone would want to live someone else's life. I say more power to him if it helped him in his career."

There's a good chance he seriously thought he was the baseball player. There's not enough information in the articles, nothing about if he used that title to make money or advance his careers or anything.
I can see it being plausible that a guy looks at cards that have the same name and look similar, that he would think that was him.
Best not to judge a book by its cover. We all have problems.

if anyone out there would like to trade lives, I'd be open to suggestions. Mine is well-worn, comfortable, and comes with a no-honk guarantee. Thanks, and btw, I'd prefer a newer model with low mileage, and sub-woofers
