Don’t worry—it’s not the end of an era yet

I love mustaches. I’m pretty sure most guys have an obsession with their facial hair. Most girls are like, “Why do you willingly make yourself ugly?” This is a common phrase from my sister. It’s a good thing my brother has a ridiculous full beard.

Anyway, there are some pretty famous mustaches out there, but one of the more recent ones that became a staple almost immediately was the mustache that Jason Giambi grew. It was perfect and looked like he combed it 100 times a day, all Ron Burgundy style.

Well, much to my chagrin, I had the displeasure of catching him on TV tonight and lo and behold—NO STACHE. It was terrible. I was distraught. I had to look it up. And the greatest thing happened.

It’s coming back:

He was taken out of the game in the eighth inning Sunday for defensive purposes, and when the Yankees fell behind 9-8, Giambi decided to shave.

“I shaved it as soon as I came out of the game,” Giambi said. “We were losing when they hit that grand slam and then we came back and won.”

Giambi said he’s already growing a new mustache.

“In about a week, it will be back. It goes hand and hand with winning,” Giambi said. “I would have kept it if we were winning that game.”

Thank God. It’s seriously one of the only redeeming things about the Yankees. That, and the fact that they might actually be MORE likable than the Red Sox this year.

Oh, and P.S.—If you’re looking for my favorite mustache of all-time, look no further.
