The Metstache

Brad Hand's goofy "fix the copier/deliver anal satisfaction" mustache has got me thinking, who's got the definitive Mets stache in franchise history? Is it Keith Hernandez? John Franco? Kingman?

Felix Millan sported a serious 'stache.

Re: The Metstache

Well let's get a list together and turn it into a poll. Like the online dorks we all are.



1. Mex

2. John Franco

3. Felix Millan

4. Dave Kingman

Brad Hand gets a slot in the list based on his current roster mustache superiority.

Re: The Metstache

Reserve level scrubs with first-round draft pick staches:

Luis Alvorado

Rick Sweet.

Steven Nogocek.



Hernandez of course.

Re: The Metstache

I actually had a notion to do a 64-man bracket earlier in the year.

Re: The Metstache

I feel like it should be two polls, an initial "choose the finalists" from everyone mentioned here, and then a second draw with the top 5-6 vote getters from round 1.

It may not be the best Metstache (And is probably not eligible for the award because it wasn't real).

But because it is probably the most famous 'stache in Mets Lore, I think the award for the winner in this contest should be named in Bobby V's honor.

They win "the BobbyV".

Re: The Metstache

We need more wispy-thin blonde staches. The kind you associate with primer-painted hot rods, canned beer, pink skin, and endangered teenage daughters. The kind that come in so fine they practically disappear in direct sunlight. But they're there. Oh, yes, they are there. And they are a red flag to any decent American parent or local cop trying to keep his town respectable.
