Ray? Romano?

Everybody loves this, right?

Comedic actor Ray Romano starred in CBS’ Everybody Loves Raymond from 1996 to 2005. It was the story of a sportswriter (Romano) and his overbearing parents, who live across the street.

This is the first time a Ray-Romano matchup has happened, and it comes in Romano’s third big-league start. The 23-year-old right-hander made his debut in April, and then started again for the Reds on July 6 when he earned his first career win over the Colorado Rockies.
