Just when I thought I was out of Mustache Madness, they pull me back in.
No, it's not the Newsday.com tournament spawned by two guys (La Monica and me) with a couple of hours of office down time that led to a Mets promotion, culminating with all of Shea Stadium wearing fake mustaches in honor of Keith Hernandez...no, this is just a guy realizing the power of the mustache.
If you've been watching Yankees games recently or have read the greatest Yankees insider ever, you've probably noticed Jason Giambi's upper lip. The first baseman has been on a tear at the plate since growing the Aspiring Burgundy.
I still don't know if it's against league policy to wear the mustache and the slump-busting thong during the same at-bat.
I will say this right now though. I will buzz my hair off completely if Giambi can somehow get Derek Jeter to grow a mustache -- just for a month.
There it is. That just happened.
