Cardinalstaches

A bit late, but no less relevant: Wright Stache commenter Sean alerted us to the fact that the Cardinals startering pitchers have all grown mustaches. Adam Wainwright, Kyle Lohse, Joel Piñeiro and Todd Wellemeyer sported lip-sweaters starting in early July as a way to try and change the team’s forunes, and judging by the standings today (they’re two games up on Chicago in the NL Central) it seems to be working. Said Wainright:

“We were sitting around thinking of something to do and one of the other guys said we should mix it up. We wondered how we could do it and ended up cutting mustaches that night. We won the next day.”

Oh woeful 2009 Mets, couldn’t you learn a thing or two from these Cards?

Hrabosky was hairless from the neck down.

I have been fortunate enough in the last few days to correspond with Dr. Aaron of Joe Sports Fan.  He’s knee deep into a feature detailing the best St. Louis Cardinal Reliever mustaches.  With great names like Al Hrabosky, Todd Worrell and Eck, Dr. Aaron has his hands full.

I bring this up to once again prove that the stache’s power is undeniable.  It’s brought success and good fortune to Major Leaguers throughout history.  And while we here at The Wright Stache are focused on David Wright and the New York Mets bringing the World Championship back to New York, we know that we must look to the past, study the masters and leave no stone unturned in our quest to convince David to grow a stache.

Study hard, kiddies.  Take your vitamins and pay attention.  There’s much to learn and we’re here to lead the way.
