Is the Mustache an ASB Rabbits Foot?

Fogelberg – Last years All-Star Baseball Classic in Boggstown provided many firsts, but a seemingly insignificant fashion statement may become an ASB Classic staple. The mustache, which can be dated back as far as 300 BC, may be gaining traction in the ASB world as a sign of good luck on the spinners. All three top finishers from last years Classic sported the stache’ for the weekend leaving clean shaven upper lips out of the metal ceremony.

“It’s pretty sweet!,” Ryan McCall of the McCall Mudhens said with a grin as he grabbed his beer at last years Classic. Without knowing it, McCall would later ride that mustache to a third place finish in the Classic. “I think he ACTUALLY looks pretty AWESOME!,” Jamie McCall added later that evening.

Just this week the defending Champion Fogelberg Falcons have placed a mandatory mustache rule on all personnel at Macintosh Stadium. All vendors, field crew and team staff will be required to sport the facial hair. “We had some pretty good luck last year with our handle-bar staches’, so we figured that it would be a fun thing for the fans, the players and the city to embrace during the Classic,” Falcons manager Don Zimmer said Monday night with peach fuzz growing on his upper lip.

The only question is how many players will show up with the stache’ for this years Classic. Early mustache confirmation came from representatives of the Falcons, Beanbags, Mudhens and Boilers… Are the Bears, Wildcats, Sketchers and Devil Dogs man enough to give free mustache rides during the Classic?
