He Can, So When?

It'd be a lot cooler if David did...
Currently, our mission stands thus: we believe that David Wright should grow a mustache. We know for a fact that this alone could bring the Mets a World Championship. David knows this. He has said he would if he could. We have said that he can.
But that’s alright, we’ll worry about that later.
Since this is a free country (except, perhaps, when you’re at a Yankee game), we cannot force our hero to grow a hero bar. The Metstache may choose you, but you must also choose your Metstache. We respect that. You gotta do what Randall Pink Floyd wants to do, man.
Sometimes, however, we are given signs. It could be a Superbowl Party with Howard Johnson. It could be a Superbowl Party with Howard Johnson at a Howard Johnson’s (while staying at a Howard Johnson). Or maybe it’s Mathew McConaughey…
(Party at the Moon Tower, after ye leap)
We’re a bit late to the show, but apparently Yahoo! Sports blogger Duk dug up a photo of Matt and our favorite Met for his May 21 blog entry, soliciting readers to add their own captions (we’d start that feature too, but we already have captioneer extraordinaire Teufel).
That's what we call a "winning smile"
The story goes, the dashing (and occasionally-staching) actor made ‘Contact’ with Wright and Friends before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of one of those forgettable late-night Dodger games last week. No word yet as to whether their conversation included the phrase “labia sebuculum.”
While a couple stache readers chimed in (kudos Cactus Jack Sancho, Sara), and a good one from “egethepege” seems to have gone unheeded, it was a rather sad crop of inputs overall.
But still, this post is encouraging, if for no other reason than it includes more proof positive that David Wright has the indisputable capability of joining the ranks of Mustached Americans. Now all he needs is the will…
(and perhaps a grooming kit)
P.S. While we’re talking the Stew, Duk, Murphy’s homer hit the Subway sign. The reason nobody in 101 was diving for the ball is everyone believed it was in the upper deck. Sheesh.

Listen up my friend and listen good.(I know you can’t really hear me) It’s going to take money. Let’s find out the name of David Wrights favorite charity. Then get a hold of his agent. Find out how much we will need to donate to said charity to get Wright to sport a stache for a month! It’s GOOOOO TIME!

We’ve actually been thinking about this. David runs a charity called The David Wright Foundation. We’re thinking that may be the way to go… Good call.
