Maxim’s look at 10 great baseball mustaches, at least in the modern era (the 1880s was an earlier golden age for facial hair). A few quick thoughts:
*They probably should have included at least one black and/or Latino player. What, Jose Valentin wasn’t available? Or how about this valiant effort to link mustache and sideburns?
*Doesn’t that picture of Al Hrabosky make him look – otehr than the facial hair – like Will Ferrell?
*Actually, Keith Hernandez did shave the mustache in 1987, leading to him having the “phantom mustache” effect, where it’s gone but you keep thinking it’s there. Keith didn’t stay clean-shaven long enough for this effect to wear off.

Shenanigans on Hernandez beating Rollie freaking Fingers.
Yeah, Rollie remains the Babe Ruth of mustaches.
Mattingly had a pretty good mustache, but I think I would have dropped him in favor of somebody like Luis Tiant.
This has nothing to do with this but there is a great article on espn.com today by Kurkjian about grand slams. Very interesting stuff. Jim Palmer never gave up a grand slam. Pitched nearly 4,000 innings. Crazy.
You’ve got to go with Adam Dunn as the current player that most closely resembles Will Ferrell.
