Today was the first day of official Spring Training workouts for our Seattle Mariners. The big stories of the day include Erik Bedard throwing free and easy, Yusmeiro Petit’s absence due to visa issues and, most importantly, Felix Hernandez’s new haircut.
What does a Cy Young Award winner do with his hair when nothing else will work? Cut it into a mohawk.
That’s what Felix Hernandez has done, with a haircut that features a full head of hair up front but a single strip down the back of his head and neck.
“I like it but if I lose one game with it, it’s over,” Hernandez said.
Felix Hernandez was in Venezuela, about to come to spring training, and wanted his haircut to be something different.
It is.
The cut kept his hair full in front, those close cropped but, down the back of his head and neck, shaved down to a single strip of hair. What was the cut called?
“A fade mohawk?” Felix asked.
Someone said maybe it was a ‘faux mohawk,’ and Hernandez nodded, agreeing with that description to. Then someone suggested the Fe-hawk, and that megawatt smile dazzled.
“I like the sound of that, the fe-hawk,” said the 2010 American League Cy Young Award winner.
I’m having a hard time imagining what this looks like, exactly, but I suspect it looks ridiculous.
Other fluffiness: Royce Ring has a cool hot rod. Jack Wilson lost weight. Wahoo!
