Clearly, the whole beard thing was a unifying force for the
2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. Whenever we think of the unexpected ring of '13, it will come with images of our hirsute heroes. However, 2014 is a new year. And it needs a new theme.
Jonny Gomes and
David Ross agree—
they have already committed to putting blade to face. Said Gomes,
"The beard's coming off. Oh, yeah. The baseball season is not like a cookie cutter. You can't win last year. I mean, it's a clean slate, you know." When news of this development reached
Mike Napoli, however, he was outraged. Via TWITTER, the undoubted winner of
The Best Beard Competition said,
"Whoaaa Saaaaay what?! Can't cut this thing!!!!" So, what will transpire once they all congregate at
jetBlue Park in a few short weeks? The plot—and maybe the fuzz—thickens.
