This has been all over ESPN the last couple of days. Mustaches all over the stands, supporting Giambi, people talking about the mustache being a good reason to put Giambi in the All-Star game (!!)...

It was sad enough that this happened at all for a major league team... but when the manager gets into it and wears a 'stache as well, it reaches an entirely new level.

And for the Yankees, known for being a very 'professional' club, its even worse.

Does ESPN have anything better to do?

What ever happened to the Yankees policy of no facial hair?

They certainly should.

And I think its all a sign of the Yankees no longer being "The Yankees".

Good riddance, anyways.

EDIT: I should be able to do stupid markups by now.

I like mustaches, but the attention it's getting from the media is rather silly. Still, at least they aren't talking about Barry Bonds...

Oh. Wait.

Never mind.

Summer is a slow news period, clearly.

Still, how the heck does a mustache become a reason to be in the All-Star game? Seriously?

At least they stopped talking about the golden thong Giambroids was sharing with the other Yanks to help with slump busting. sick

It was better last year when the Mets did it. They gave out Keith Hernandez mustaches because he won some sort of Best Mustache in New York contest.

I still have mine somewhere.

Amazing.

I love reading your manual sig as the concluding line of your posts. It makes me laugh 7 times out of 10.

If he's a winner of a contest like that, there's more reason than the Yanks have for Giambi.

and lol@the failed attempt to put him in for the mustache.
