The internet leader in encouraging David Wright to grow a mustache since 2009. Because naked lips don't win championships.

Buzzed Head ≠ Mustache

Sayonara to David's afro dreams.

With his average plummeting to well below .300 and his strikeouts leading the known universe, David Wright took drastic measures to break out of his slump.  He knew that success is directly related to hair, so he decided to take immediate follicle action.  Sadly (for us), he was a little misguided in his quest to improve his performance.  Rather than beginning to grow a stache, David buzzed his head.

Now, I am a strong advocate of a buzzed head.  Sport it myself.  I make it look good.  But I’m not going 30/30 anytime soon.  And neither will David if he doesn’t start thinking about adding hair rather than removing it.

We appreciate his motives.  We respect his willingness to shake things up aesthetically to get out of these doldrums.  But, David, come on!  Naked lips don’t win championships!  It rhymes for a reason.

In other news, word from Will Leitch’s Twitter is that Rick Ankiel shaved his mustache.  Quitter.

    If anyone needs to grow a stache, it is Oliver Perez. Can you imagine the lip growth that guy could amass? DW would look great with a Metstache.
