Much has been said about Jason Giambi's mustache this year but who would have thought that it could actually tip the scales and get him elected to the all star game?!?! In case you haven't heard already the American Mustache Institute has formally endorsed Giambi in his bid for the final slot on the roster.
"The only choice for the final roster spot on the 2008 American League All-Star Team is Jason Giambi. He not only represents the great Yankees dynasty previously led by the likes of Reggie Jackson – the father of the mustache in modern-day baseball – but Giambi represents the hopes and dreams of the previously downtrodden mustached American, a breed that was on the U.S. Endangered Species list as recently as 2005. Clearly, the voting public must takes into account Giambi’s powerful lip fur, as it signifies great intellect, good looks, and the ability to stare down the most powerful of martial arts gurus. And while none of that may matter on the baseball diamond, it’s the most compelling reason offered for All-Star status in the history of the game."
As if that wasn't great enough, tonight the Yankees will give away fake mustaches to the first 20,000 fans. You have got to love this stuff, I can only imagine how funny it is going to be with 20,000 fans sporting the fake lip hair. The real funny thing though is that it is true that since Giambi started sporting the stash his performance has drastically improved. Will the stash be good enough to earn him a contract extension with the Yankees though? That remains to be seen. But I will say this, in honor of Jason's stash, if the Yankees make all the way to the fall classic I will grow a mustache of my own for the duration of the world series. I'll even start growing it during the ALCS in order to have full form in time for the series. This is my pledge, and if it should happen I will back it up with pictures.
