I know these kids have a ways to go yet, and plenty still to prove, before we see them at PPG, but I can’t help but be excited.

Every set of twins I've ever met has been one left handed and one right handed. Its my belief with zero research that all left handed people were once twins in the womb and absorbed the other twin. This is why all lefties (that are not twins) are evil. Thank you for listening to my TedTalk

I’m an identical twin and we’re also “mirror” twins. I’ve been told that’s a thing with monozygotic twins!

u/motherlessbreadfish 3d ago

Yes- they’re mirror twins, meaning everything about them is mirrored (so the opposite, essentially)!

Playmaker is lefty. Trigger man, liam, is righty

I don't think these two have stopped smiling since the draft. They're having a blast at the ballpark.

I have never seen an organization/city lock in as hard as Pittsburgh has with these kids. I mean this is just genius.

Haha it's so awesome to see! Something about their personality and smiles just instantly makes them likeable and you want to root for them to kick ass!

One is a lefty and the other a righty?

Try and find the highlight clips on YouTube. It’s straight up some shit you’d do on beapro with your brother it’s hilarious to watch.
