With all the talk of the porn-stache recently. I've attempted to put together an All Time Moustache Team. Candidates are judged on intensity of the moustache as well as on-field performance. Let me know if I've made an oversight. I will reveal one position per day, starting with : Catcher - Thurman Munson Most people know Munson's brilliant career, which included multiple gold golves and all star appearences and an MVP, was cut short tragically at 32. What is lesser known however is that Thurman Munson's moustache once beat up Chuck Norris.

FIRST BASE: Let me say first that this is an incredibly deep position for mustaches, Wade Boggs, Mattingly, Giambi, Palmeiro, Very tough decision. I eliminated Palmeiro because his mustache is just creepy. He looks like he should be knocking on your door to tell you he is a registered sex offender no knocking in RBIs, plus major point loss for steroids. Even in the world of 'staches they count as performance enhancing drugs. Giambi just didn't have the resume of Boggs or Mattingly, so he was out and the decision left between the rival first basemen. Check out this picture. My word, look at those upper lips. Either would make a fine addition to the team. After some deliberation I went with Donny Baseball for a few reasons. 1) He never got that world series, even as a coach. His spot in this lineup is a gesture of good will to attempt to remedy that. 2) Boggs was known for his own eccentricity, his fondness for lemon chicken. Combined with Mattingly's infamous, if mythical, run in with the boss over his hair he just barely edges out Boggs as the starting first baseman.

He'd have to contend with Schmidt's of course

Hmm yeah 3rd was empty right now, and you're right Schmidt puts up a big fight....
Also I would welcome some suggestions for OFers, one is pretty obvious, can you think of any other worthy candidates?

can you think of any other worthy candidates? Here's some worthy OFers- Reggie Jackson. You could use him at OF or DH. Bill Buckner started as an OF with the Dodgers and Cubs. He was a helluva hitter in his day. John Lowenstein had the "70's Cop Show" look down pat. Oscar Gamble should get extra points for the 'stache/fro combo Dwight Evans Kirk Gibson Reggie Smith. Good power hitting switch-hitter. Robin Yount. I'd save him for SS, but he could be a valuable utilityman.

SECOND BASE: Jeff Kent Easily one of the best bats at second base ever, Kent's good play and goofy, "I really don't care how it looks" 'stache give him the nod at second base. His only tarnish? He is to clubhouses what razors are to mustaches.

Thanks for the suggestions Jim. Final lineup is set. I think I'm running a day behind, so I'll do one more tonight.

SHORTSTOP: Ozzie Smith While smith is best known for his beard, check out this mustache/muttonchop combo from early in his career. Fun Fact: The Wizard's facial hair once entered the coney island hotdog eating contest and blew away the competition with 100 dogs.
