Former A's Bat Boy Impersonates Eric Byrnes for 1 Sexual Encounter

Summary
Eric Byrnes said a former Oakland A's bat boy posed as him after two women mistook him for the outfielder at a red light, then used the mix-up to secure a sexual encounter with one of them.
Byrnes said the bat boy was wearing an official team cap and driving his mother's Cadillac Escalade, details that helped sell the impersonation during Byrnes' MLB playing days.
The former center fielder said he later confronted the bat boy, telling him not to do it again, but ultimately let him off with a warning.
The anecdote surfaced on Byrnes' "Deuces Wild" podcast as the report contrasted that episode with a current Bay Area case in which Daejon Love was indicted over an alleged $1.3 million fake-49ers romance scheme involving at least 26 women.
