You won’t believe Brandi Chastain’s Hall of Fame plaque

SAN FRANCISCO — Luckily, Brandi Chastain already left fans with an indelible image.

Because her new bronze plaque looks more like the black plague.

The renowned soccer star went into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame on Monday night during a lavish ceremony at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.

Chastain, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time World Cup champion arrived shortly before the ceremony, giving her just enough time to pose next to her new plaque.

The problem? The likeness was just a wildly off. On Twitter, fans suggested the image looked more like Jimmy Carter … or Gary Busey … or Bill Belichick … or (for the old school crowd) Mickey Rooney.
