Death of the 'stache

Eric Wedge has heard the cries of his people.
When he showed up at SBC Park in San Francisco for Saturday's game against the Giants, his much-maligned mustache was no more, shaven clean off. He got a haircut, too.
Wedge offered no comment as to why the sudden change of heart. Whenever he has previously offered a comment on his facial hair, he always seemed to be of the belief that the people who were obsessing over his 'stache should find something else to do.
He was probably right. It looked ugly, but it was his mustache, and as bad as it looked, it was his right to keep it if he wanted. But there is no denying this: the Indians are 4-1 since beginning their west-coast interleague swing through San Diego and San Francisco.
If Wedge started contemplating a shave in San Diego, then Matt Glassman, the Webmaster of www.shaveericwedge.com, can consider his site a success.
Here's to better, clean-shaven days ahead.
