If you were debating whether or not to grow a mustache, Jason Giambi should be more than enough inspiration to grow that award winning mustache you were dreaming of. The Giambino has a mustache for the record books and has taken New York by storm with his new Lip Fur. Just this week the Yankees had their first official Mustache Day where fans were given mustaches upon entry into the ballpark. Even starting pitcher Mike Mussina (above) and manager Joe Jirardi were seen sporting the mustaches on Wednesday.
The mustache craze has gone far enough to gain approval from the American Mustache Institute who just recently endorsed Giambi for an all star bid. Executive Director Aaron Perlut had this to say about Giambi's new stash, "It doesn't take a mathematician to figure out that Jason Giambi's hitting prowess, plus a fashionable mustache, equals a bona fide All-Star. Giambi's significant first-half production as well as his powerful lip fur -- indicating great intellect and good looks -- make two very compelling reasons for his place on the American League All-Star roster."
On top of all of this, Giambi's numbers have skyrocketed since the induction of the stash to his facial ensemble. Before the mustache, Giambi was hitting sub .200 but the power of the stash has raised his average more than 50 points to .257. He also has 18 home runs which ties him for fifth in the AL. H has 53 RBIs up to this point in the season.
Although the mustache couldn't pull Giambi enough votes for an all star bid, it did cause quite a stir among major league baseball and mustache growers everywhere.
