If you didn’t know it, it’s the 20th anniversary of the movie masterpiece that is Coming to America … the film that let loose “Soul Glo” on America. You know, the homage to Jheri Curl – that awesome, dripping wet looking ‘do from the seventies and eighties that would stain anything it came in contact with.
Baseball is often a great place to see some fashionable hairstyles and facial hair trends and it was no stranger to Jheri Curl. So let your Soul Glow and enjoy the best curls in baseball.
Sammy Sosa
When Sosa came up with the Texas Rangers, teammate Rafael Palmeiro described him as a skinny Dominican with Jheri Curls. Seriously … check out Sammy protecting the ‘do by barely wearing an oversized hat. A 1-year old could knock that thing off with a sneeze.
Sammy kept the ‘do after being traded to the White Sox. After he trimmed his long drippy locks … his power stats eventually exploded. Call it the “Reverse Samson” effect.
