Top 10 celebrities with extra fingers


Polydactyly is a congenital physical anomaly of having supernumerary fingers or toes. It is also known as hyperdactyly. But is it really an anomaly or an obstacle? Certainly not for when we look at famous people who have achieved great heights of success in life despite being Polydactyly we realize it is perhaps a blessing in disguise; a sign for success! Here are top 10 famous people with extra fingers or toes.

10. Antonio Alfonseca:

A retired relief pitcher who last pitched for Philadelphia Phillies, Antonio Alfonseca was born with extra digits in both hands and feet. He was nicknamed El Pulpo (“The Octopus”), The Dragonslayer, and Six-Fingers due to his condition which he was very proud of. Florida Marlins (1997-2001, 2005), the Chicago Cubs (2002-2003), the Atlanta Braves (2004) and the Texas Rangers (2006) were some of the other clubs he played for.

  1. I would like to understand how to create my very own PVAs and
    that i heard of BlackHat, however i am just a little confused on which type of website it can be.

    Is it just like a chat room or is its all discussion on computer technical stuff.
    Why would someone pay money a month to turn into a
    VIP member? Exactly what does the VIP Member get?.
