Doug Melvin, de-mustachioed?

I'm pretty sure this isn't a recent picture, but I thought it was pretty funny that the Brewers' homepage today featured a big picture of Doug Melvin sans mustache while simultaneously advertising the game at which they'll be handing out a mustachioed Melvin bobble.

Not sure about the rest of you, but I'd never seen "The Mustache" without the lip warmer. Not only did I not recognize him, but I was fairly certain he was actor Mark Harmon (looking conspicuously like Melvin here.)

As someone who has advocated for this bobble to feature a "real" hair mustache (you'll remember when the title of this site referenced "real Canadian hair mustaches,") I find the above picture deeply disturbing and highly sacrilegious.

As Lydon Johnson once said,

“If I’ve lost the mustache I’ve lost middle America.”

This was an Attanasio decision. Melvin just executed it.

wait...maybe the "real hair" for the bobbles actually came from HIM

It had to go somewhere….

I think he looks more like Kevin Kline

They made a mistake and ordered 20,000 bobbles without a mustache, so Doug Melvin took one for the team and just shaved his off.

What's this about removable mustache bobbles?

You know me Al.

a Mr. Potato head theme?

after this past off-season with his pitching moves, I think it fits.

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

That's an old picture

Atleast from 2008. Atleast that’s where I snagged it for a logo.
