They call him "Twenty-Four."
Yoandri Hernandez Garrido's nickname comes from the six perfectly formed fingers on each of his hands and the six impeccable toes on each foot.

You’ve given this some thought, haven’t you?
Generally speaking, polydactyly is dominant, not recessive. You don't need to inbreed to catch it. Just sayin'. :o)
Probably from consuming Communist Chinese foodstuffs.
It was the 6 fingered man who is the suspect in the car bomb that took Trudy Monk’s life....Hmmmmmm
this little piggie went to....aw crap!
Thanks to the idiotic Communist government, he's still just cutting down coconuts.
Don’t know about the photo, although it looks legit to me. But the concept of six-finger-ism is not terribly rare among the Amish in PA. It comes from in-breeding with individuals who are too close relatives. Honestly have not seen or heard about six toes. Frequently with the Amish the six-fingered person is also a dwarf. And there are also Amish dwarfs who only have 5 fingers....but it all comes from in-breeding. At a big auto & truck auction in NJ there was a dealer who attended who had 12 fingers but was not a dwarf. But now a Cuban? That’s a new one.
Hey, Little Twelve toes...

Under Castro's Communism the people are no longer limited to just 10 fingers as they were under the oppressive capitalist pigs. And since he has two middle fingers on each hand, just think of the new possibilities for flipping people off!
The Communist state has enough piano players. They need more coconut harvesters. Imagine if he had any talent as a receiver in football.
Between you and Bernie Marx the possibilities seem endless!
I think the guy has great potential as a baseball pitcher. I bet he could throw curves and sliders like nobody ever imagined. Don’t know about a knuckleball......probably too many knuckles!

There’s no single type of “polydactyly.” Some of it may be the result of inbreeding, other types not. Look it up, you can get it from one parent with the gene, and the other parent unrelated and lacking the gene.
You can get it with a double thumb, a double pinkie, dwarfism, a sixth digit in just one hand or both, or the extra in hands and feet...etc.
Amish he is not. :)
Former major league pitcher Antonio Alfonseca had this. I believe he was Dominican. As I recall, he had a specially made fielders glove with an extra finger.
As long as it was a base 12 system.
You may be right. Most of that was above my pay grade. But until this Cuban showed up, the only ones I was aware of were Amish, and since they only marry each other, it inevitably leads to inbreeding and sometimes, birth anomalies. Fershtay? (sic)
Okay, so most people work with the decimal number system, so what system does that Cuban use?
Also, shouldn’t he be getting punished for having “more” than the rest of the population, or at least get taxed more? He’s violating all the rules of equality of the communist system.
the correct solution is for the state to give everyone the extra digits.
a five-year plan has been initiated and is ahead of schedule. Cubans will start receiving their extra toes in 10 years (of course they are all left big toes, and they are pallid gray). Mucho Gusto El Papa
What I’d like to know is why we don’t all have six fingers, if it’s a dominant gene. Dominant means that if you have two genes for it, your kid is gonna get it for sure. You marry a person who has six like you and odds are pretty high your kids get it.
Capeesh?
