This is possibly the most genius thing to ever hit the Interwebs: a series of 30-second video clips of Keith Hernandez and his mustache trash-talking none other than you.
Why is Bloomberg Sports sponsoring a website and a series of pro-shot videos of Keith Hernandez being Keith Hernandez? Why is Keith Hernandez even bothering to do this? Why is it so fucking funny? Only one answer: the power of the ’stache.
TWS Detroit Bureau Chief Misopogon is back with another dispatch from America’s burningest city. This time around, he looks at the 1984 Detroit Tigers and their mustaches. Can the kittens maul the Amazins? Will the presence of HoJo on both rosters cause the space-time continuum to implode? Is the devise of asking myself questions being overused? Anyhoo, Misopogon gives us the longest and most meticulously cited in this blog’s short history.
So the ‘82 Brew Crewwent down to the might of the Metstache, but if there’s one team that could compete with the ‘86 Amazins, it’s the stachiest of the stachiest, the team that put the zap in Zappa, the “Bless You Boys,” your 1984 Detroit Tigers.
Let’s see how they stache up after the jump. Read more »
We love a good challenge and nothing gets us chomping at the bit more than someone challenging us to a good old-fashioned stache-off. You see, we’ll stack the 1986 Mets and their staches up against any team from any era. Why? Because we’re confident that Metstaches are the best staches. So, you can imagine our giddiness when we received the picture to the right along with the note below from Matt Brukman. We welcome your challange, Matt, and apologize that you will have to walk away with your stache between your legs.
First, let’s look at Matt’s opening salvo:
The Mets are amateurs. See the attached t-shirt graphic for the true masters of hirsute baseball goodness.

Jason J., a Yankee-fan reader of The Wright Stache, recently posed an interesting and important question to yours truly:
One suggestion on an issue that needs to be addressed: Willie Randolph had a moustache and that didnt work out so well, the blog needs to explain why that occurred.
It would seem that we do have some explaining to do. Why would we believe that the mustache mojo would work so well for D-Wright if it failed so miserably for Randolph?
Problem at hand, we here at The Wright Stache HQ put on our thinking caps gathered ’round a bottle of Jameson and indulged in a hearty session of armchair philosophy to solve The Willie Randolph Paradox. Our explanations, after the jump.
Mets fans are going to be so upset when they read my jersey!
Last night, I received a telephone call from two friends of mine that are big Phillies fans. Naturally, I usually can’t talk baseball with these guys without goin’ to the fisticuffs. “World Champions” this, “Mets Suck” that. You know how it is: eternally resentful towards the Mets even though they just won the series.
But last night was different. Tom Keely and Rod Sliver (who’s names have been changed to protect their identities) instead called to tell me that they would be jumping ship if and when David grew the stache. Yep – two die hard Philles fans agreed to root for the Mets if and when our follicle folley becomes a reality.
And we think that’s fantastic. In fact, we don’t doubt that there are many other fans out there, ready and willing to make a power-move to Flushing when the stache-year rings in. Here are the top 5 teams you should consider abandoning to become a Mets fan when David grows the mustache: Read more »
