A less than informative blog post follows:
The Twins were off yesterday. So naturally I was thinking about facial hair because Luis Perdomo has been called up to replace the injured Anthony Swarzak. Which reminded me of an excellent tournament of Twins mustachioed men recently moderated by The Platoon Advantage. This entry is not nearly as all-encompassing or interesting as said tournament. But it is something, and by definition that means it is not nothing. Enjoy this not nothing.
Delmon Young once lackadaisically roamed left field for the Minnesota Twins, now he grows fantastic mustaches.

Wilson Ramos used to throw out base stealers for the Twins in the Minor Leagues. Then someone tried to steal him. Now, apparently, someone has stolen his mustache.

Ron Davis says more by saying less, with his mustache.

Then there is Jon Rauch, sporting some type of death metal goatee/beard combo. Perhaps tied to the death of his success as a reliever.

Are you Gary Gaetti?
Sqinty eyes? Check.
Beaver teeth? Check.
Walrus-esque mustache? Check-PLUS!

And finally Jose Mijares, amidst a trio of bearded Royals, using his beard as a chinstrap to keep his hat firmly attached to his head.

This has been a collection of less than great facial hair from former Minnesota Twins.
Jon Rauch’s beard there (and probably the tattoos) makes him look like James Hetfield from Metallica. Perhaps he was going for that?
If only he had the raspy rockin’ voice of Mr. Hetfield he wouldn’t be on his 4th team in 4 years.
