You know we are in a slow part of the off-season
Joey's got a beard! Alert Heather!

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-bi...4890--mlb.html


Here is part of the article's analysis of the move and its possible in-season impact.
Quote:
Votto's facial hair serves him well, in a Jeff Reardon-sort-of-way. And having a beard, as everyone knows, is worth four or five more home runs a season per 162 games played. It's too bad we'll never see him take this look to Great American Ball Park, even though the Reds dropped their strict no-facial-hair policy after 1999. It would attract too much attention to a guy who just likes to blend in.
Will this get a sticky?

Re: You know we are in a slow part of the off-season
I have a shirt like that, but it's shaped differently. Votto's is wider at the top, but mine is wider at the bottom. I'm not sure why.

Stupid shirt.

He's a handsome man.

Looks like a hockey player.

I was at midnight madness for UC for the infamous Dukie V. "I'll even throw in the books baby!", made halfcourt shot by a student.

He's a lumberjack.

Re: You know we are in a slow part of the off-season
Hehe, he had most of that beard at Redsfest (see below) but thanks for thinking of me. Seeing a picture of Joey today helps me forget about the fact that I was sick as all get out yesterday.

Re: You know we are in a slow part of the off-season
It's not the beard that's getting my attention...it's that miniature mohawk he seems to be trying for. Weird looking. Oh well, it IS the offseason. *grin*
