Major League Bald Star Team

He may have been ejected from Wednesday night’s game, but on Thursday Marlins reliever Taylor Tankersley was in the endorsement game joining three other bald current and former players for Bald Guyz, a New Jersey company that makes grooming products for bald men.

Tankersley joins former New York Yankee and South Florida resident Jim Leyritz, Boston Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis and Atlanta Braves infielder Chris Woodward on Bald Guyz’ so-called “Major League Bald Star Team," the company announced. The four will be pitching the company’s products, including sunscreen, head wipes, moisture gel and shampoo.

“With Bald Guyz, they will help educate fellow baldies about the need for care and protection of their head while helping us to kill the combover,” Howard Brauner, the company’s founder, said in a statement.

The company expects the players to recruit other Major Leaguers to join the team.
