The Metstache

[Fman99]

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?

[kcmets]

Felix Millan sported a serious 'stache.

[Fman99]

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



Keep em coming kids

[kcmets]

El Sid, George Foster

[Fman99]

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

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Reserve level scrubs with first-round draft pick staches:

Luis Alvorado

Rick Sweet.

Steven Nogocek.



Hernandez of course.

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

Jack Heidemann

[Edgy MD]

That's a big-time pick in the mustache draft right there.

[Edgy MD]

But don't sleep on Gil Flores. That guy could smuggle contraband in his cookie duster.

[kcmets]

If a prosthesis 'stache counts, Bobby V wins at least an honorable mention.

[Frayed Knot]

IIRC, this board referred to Jose Valentin as 'PornStache' during his tenure.

[Edgy MD]

Don't mind me. I was just getting my Glenn Frey on.

16 seed.

[Fman99]

Yeah Derek Bell had a rockin' stache.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Is this going to be a single poll, or a bracketed competition?

[kcmets]

In case we have a sub-poll for fans and posters:

[Fman99]

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.

[MFS62]

If a prosthesis 'stache counts, Bobby V wins at least an honorable mention.

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".

I guess whoever takes initiative gets to decide, but I'm a fan of 64 seeds and sub-regionals in Dayton and Wichita.

[kcmets]

Seems like a lot of work for upper lip hair.

Yeah let's do it

[Willets Point]

This has the potential of petering out like the Band Ladder Tournament.
