Rating Metstaches*: *These are certainly not the top 10, but each player picted is a solid typifyer of the level. Steve Henderson's handlehooky thing, on a better day, would rank as a 6 alongside his teammate Ray Burris. Lee Mazzillli's 1981 disaster could be arguably as low as 2 or as high as 4. I wouldn't be of a mind to be generous, however. <table align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="1" bordercolor="black"><tr><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">10) Keith Hernandez <img src="http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0422/pg2_g_hernandez_400.jpg" width="192"></td><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">9) Craig Swan <img src="http://www.rndng3rd.com/NYMHall/players/S/Craswa.jpg" width="192"></td><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">8) Jose Valentin <img src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/01M4e5K3M861z/340x.jpg" width="192"></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">7) Howard Johnson <img src="http://www.jetsandmets.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/1989-topps-howard-johnson3.jpg" width="192"></td><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">6) Davey Johnson <img src="http://images-cdn01.associatedcontent.com/image/A1135/113582/300_113582.jpg" width="192"></td><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">5) Ray Burris <img src="http://caimages.collectors.com/psaimages/789/81218798/burris364.jpg" width="192"></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">4) Derek Bell <img src="http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/72281973.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193875DCB1DD8387ABB8CB353539EF6B1E5A40A659CEC4C8CB6" width="192"></td><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">3)Terry Leach <img src="http://metsilverman.com/Topps%201983.jpg" width="192"></td><td align="center" width="33%">2) Wally Backman <img src="http://newsday.image2.trb.com/nynews/media/photo/2007-06/30813361.gif" width="192"></td></tr><tr><td><br></td><td align="center" valign="top" width="33%">1) Tim Foli <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Ew6WPsZoch4/SYiDeW8U8mI/AAAAAAAAD3c/Z54lhdus7uM/s320/foli+79T_NEW.jpg" width="192"></td><td><br></td></tr></table> If there's a lesson, it's that pitchers tend to have the best soup strainers, and middle infielders the worst. Catchers don't typically qualify, because their staches tend to explode out of a scruffy neglect. Obviously, there are plenty of exceptions. Using this 1-10 scale, rank the following Metstaches: 1) Piazza's handelbar? 2) Rick Cerone's front hedge? 3) Vince Coleman's boomerang? 4) Ron Gardenhire's cheese doodle residue? 5) Terry Bross's modular end table? 6) Jeff McKnight's tickler? 7) Pat Zachry's post-beard remainder? 8) Luis Alvardo's sadistic prison guard special? 9) Lute Barnes' mail-order suburban derelict? 10) Don Aase's beer foam absorbant device? Bonus 11) Bobby Valentine's do-it-yourselfer?

Edgy DC Mar 19 2009 07:20 PM Time to get Matt Murdock on the case. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 19 2009 07:39 PM Since 'Nova's pulled away... will do! 1) 6. 2) 4. 3) 8. Surprisingly stately... and by no means reflective of the wearer. 4) 5. A nice Magnum... a 'stache for its time; like Brawny Man's less brawny brother. 5) 3. 6) 2. Weirdly wispy... and DEFINITELY reflective of the wearer. 7) 4. A bit too meaty for the man. 8) 9. Si! 9) 5. Meh. 10) 7. A tidy Wild-Westy throwback. Bonus 11) 2 for aesthetics. On the balls meter? Like Nigel Tufnel's amp, this one goes to 11. Edgy DC Mar 19 2009 07:56 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Mar 21 2009 10:27 AM Thanks for playing. I was going to call boochit on number four. It thought garden hose had the typical Statutory Rape moustache of the punchless middle infielder. But then I saw it paired up with this wind-blown mullet, and damned if Gardy doesn't make it work a little bit. <img src="http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/columnists/jimbaumbach/blog/gardenhire.JPG"> LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 19 2009 08:08 PM ="Edgy DC":3cpa7yyw]Thanks for playing.

Several of those already noted were short-timers. What isn't rankable are Metstaches that are part of full-on beards. Buddy, is a solid two, but Fido gets a six: <img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v364/172/87/1049234819/n1049234819_30172649_3271.jpg"> Most short-timers have the ranking disadvantage of the Metstache look as being so jarringly removed from the face we're used to, that it's hard for the player to get buy-in from the rankers. For instance, is anything not wrong with this photo? <img src="http://www.yankees-autos.com/images/2004-yankees-classics-single-9-kingman.jpg"> seawolf17 Mar 27 2009 12:29 PM I want. http://www.planetofthegeeks.com/?p=134 MFS62 Mar 27 2009 12:50 PM Gardenhire's 'stache wasn't that bad. Maybe because the color was lighter than the others.
