Have you seen this one yet? Here’s the highlight:

An Asbury Park man has been cited by police for impersonating Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain at several places along the shore.

Ryan Ward, 29, was reported to Belmar Police Aug. 1 after telling workers at Belmar Bagels that he was the famed pitcher and accepting free food from girls working at the shop.

According to Captain Thomas Palmisano, Ward showed the girls a picture from a newspaper of Chamberlain and said he was the pitcher.

“The girls asked for his autograph and gave him free food,” Palmisano said.

Ward, pretending he was Chamberlain, told the girls not to tell anybody he was in town.

I saw a pitcure of Ryan Ward on Channel 4 News this morning. And, well, he does look like Joba.

I have to confess, back in the late 1980’s, every once in a while – maybe just three or four times, really – my friends and I had this “scam” that we would run in bars at Belmar…where we would tell a bartender that it was my (or my friend’s) birthday in order to get a free round of drinks. (And, yes, it was not our birthday.)

But, this guy takes the cake…or, should I say bagels?
