You don't retire from being awesome. Sometimes, you use it to land you a spot in the New York Yankees' system.

That's what happened to Sean Carley, a West Virginia University right-handed pitcher from Melbourne, Florida, who was selected by New York on Saturday in the 14th round of this year's MLB draft. Now, as you might notice, Carley bears a striking resemblance to a certain other (fictional) pitcher:

Of course, we aren't the first to note the resemblance between Carley and the Danny McBride-played Kenny Powers from "Eastbound and Down." The MLB draft telecast picked it up (something Carley himself happily embraced), and others saw it too throughout this season, once he started growing his hair out and added the goatee.

Now, we shouldn't get used to the full-on shaggy look; Powers -- er -- Carley received the call from the Yankees while he was getting a haircut. ("It's funny that I was getting my hair cut," he told Florida Today, "because the Yankees are known for having strict rules about being clean-cut and all that.")

Then again, it doesn't appear he's strayed too far from Kenny you-know-what P.
