In honour of Movember, which this writer is proud to be participating in, I thought I’d take a stab at naming the Blue Jays all-time, all-moustache team.
The following roster of greats has nothing to do with talent, career statistics, or overall contribution to the team.
It is based solely on the quality of the ‘stache (hence Otto Velez beating out Jesse Barfield for the coveted RF spot).
Feel free to let me know if I missed anybody, which I undoubtedly did…
C – Ernie Whitt
1B – Willie Upshaw
2B – Nelson Liriano
3B – Rance Mulliniks
SS – Manny Lee
RF – Otto Velez
CF – Barry Bonnell
LF – George Bell
DH – Cliff Johnson
SP – Dave Stieb
SP – Jim Gott
SP – Juan Guzman
SP – Jim Clancy
RP – Dennis Lamp
RP – Mark Eichhorn
Please use the comments section to let me know who I missed, and to let me know your favourite. Personally I like Lamp, but would be willing to grow myself a nice little Eichhorn this month.
Dennis Lamp is one of my favourites as well. Of course, we can’t forget Duane Ward for moustache-clad closer!
