Nick Swisher’s stupid beard has a date with a razor. Thank You Yankees.
Posted by: Richie Rich in Hair, White Sox, Yankees
The Yankees did a public service today for everyone who watches baseball when they traded for White Sox OF/1B Nick Swisher.
Why?
Because now we won’t have to look at Swisher and his ludicrously stupid beard anymore.
Since the Yankees have a policy of “No Beards” … that means we won’t be seeing this offense to facial hair anymore.
And it definitely means we won’t see Swisher do his pink goatee thing at Mother’s Day either.
And since the Yankees made Jason Giambi and Johnny Damon shave off their beards … you know they’re serious.
Now, Swish seems to have fun with this stuff and always seems to be looking for ways to raise money for charitable causes (he grew out his hair for cancer patients)- so watch for him to partner with a razor company when he shaves it off.
It’s possible this trade was made because Swisher has been known to hang out with the Yankees’ #1 offseason target … CC Sabathia.
I wonder if Umpbump (the champions of unfortunate facial hair) will beat me to this post. By the way … I’ve made it clear that I like Baseball Beards. Just not that one.

So he makes the Yankees more flaky than a leper colony…?

Glad to see you still appreciate good beards in baseball, Rich. Of current players, I’d list Casey Blake at #1 (with hopes he comes to the Twins this year).

With a name like Swisher, he’ll fit in great with a locker room full of men who share a “golden” thong.
