Wedge's caterpillar

I've tried to ignore the mustache of Indians manager Eric Wedge, but after seeing www.shaveericwedge.com, a Website imploring Wedge to shave the caterpillar-looking facial hairdo off (discovered via Zach's blog, vitaminz.blogspot.com), I have to say something.
Funny thing about baseball. If the Indians were 27-12 like the White Sox, that cheek-to-cheek strip of facial hair would be a good luck charm. If the Indians win the World Series this year, the 'stache will be on display at the Great Lakes Science Center, right next to the skinless cadavers at the BodyWorks exhibit.
But the Indians are below .500, in fourth place, and Wedge's mustache is viewed as the baseball equivalent of breaking a mirror.
This is the point where I wish I knew how to drop pictures into my blog, because I could give you a quick pictorial history of Wedge's facial hair. It's actually quite extensive. Wedge probably changes his hair styles more often than his wife does.
Who can forget the clean-shaven Eric Wedge of late last season? Or the full-bearded "Grizzly Adams" Wedge of early last season?
I'm pretty sure there's a goatee-mustache combo in there somewhere, too.
The mustache Wedge currently sports is about the same as the caterpillar he displayed in 2002, the year before being named Cleveland's manager. He apparently likes to rotate hair styles.
But there are so many other facial hair variations the follicly-versatile Wedge has yet to experiment with. There might be some good karma for the Indians laying around in that hairy forest somewhere, much like there was on every pre-game plate of chicken Wade Boggs ate.
There's the Phil Jackson soul patch. The Brady Anderson "90210" sideburns. The Abraham Lincoln beard like Red Sox first baseman Kevin Millar sported last year. The "never cut or shave anything" approach of Johnny Damon.
(Personally, I'd like to have a manager with a beard hanging down onto his shirt and over-the-collar pelt of head hair. If your manager looks like he goes home to a hollowed-out tree and hunts bear for his next meal, nobody will ever challenge his authority.)
There's Victor Martinez dreadlocks. Ronnie Belliard wears them, too. With Wedge leading the charge, dreadlocks could be a new sign of team unity, like high socks in 1997. It would be a new kind of "Rasta-Tribe."
What do you say, Eric? Let's at least wax that mustache of yours into handlebars. Rollie Fingers would approve, and he's in the Hall of Fame.
