First, it was Yankees first baseman/DH Jason Giambi wearing women's underwear to get him out of a hitting slump. Then came the mustache that has taken on a life of it's own. Those stupid fake mustaches seem to overtaken Derek Jeter in fan popularity this season.
Now that the all-star rosters are released, and the Texas Rangers have twice as many representatives than the Yankees for the game at Yankee Stadium, the push is on to get Jason Giambi into the game. Not only has he lobbied on his own behalf, but now the American Mustache Institute has officially thrown it's support behind the stache.
"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," said Aaron Perlut, Executive Director of The American Mustache Institute. "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."If the fact that Alfonso Soriano and David Ortiz were voted starters isn't enough to ruin the credibility of the voting process, now Major League Baseball is letting this game turn into a joke with statements like that being made.
