8/15/2023 0 Comments Clemens schick shaved head![]() On days when he was starting, Turk Wendell used to brush his teeth between innings in the dugout water fountain. Then again, I hate corporations and their logo feces in every capacity. No one would have ever known Piazza had dandruff. That dude hurt all over for years and everyone knew it. The only one I can think of that I kind of understand is Nolan Ryan’s arthritis (or was it just pain relief?) commercials. Or even that classic Mean Joe Greene Coke commercial. Like Piazza’s Pert Plus commercials back in the day. I can’t find anything that says he ever even HAD a razor deal, but I somewhat remember it.Īlso, I never liked the idea of athletes hawking products that have nothing to do with their sport. Endorsements dropped like flies: Arm and Hammer, Nike, and Pepsi. I think he lost that contract after his grand jury testimony was leaked. Unfortunately, I can’t remember which one, buy it was for a disposable type and at the end of the commercial we would “throw” the razor towards the camera. But it never looks like anything’s written on the tag, so why is there in the first place?Īctually, Giambi did (or maybe still does) have a contract with a razor company. … Every now and then you see a player whose pants are pulled so far up that you can see the white name tag on his socks. … Uni Watch gets name-dropped in this eBay listing, posted by reader Drew Samuelson. And then there’s Fredrik Strømstad, whose got one of those empty set ø characters. Uni Watch News Ticker: Our discussions of accents and other diacritical marks on nameplates has led Jeremy Brahm to find two players who wear an æ ligature: Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Kristofer Hæstad. Meanwhile, if Giambi doesn’t already have a razor endorsement deal, his agent ought to get on the phone with Gillette or Schick right now. I wrote a little something about facial hair, including a timeline of notable whisker-related moments, back in Uni Watch’s Village Voice days. ![]() The Reds used to ban facial hair too, but that changed back in 1999 when they acquired Greg Vaughn, who successfully pleaded with ownership not to make him shave his beard because, he claimed, his children wouldn’t recognize him anymore. Willie Randolph brought that rule with him to the Mets last season but has allowed beards this year. The Yankees, of course, have banned beards throughout the Steinbrenner era. Still, Clemens shaved after he’d left the contest, which makes his in-game grooming less remarkable than Giambi’s. But later on, after he’d been removed from the game and then returned to the dugout, his face had undergone a transformation. A young Roger Clemens was the Red Sox starter that evening, and he took the mound with some clearly visible stubble, including some nascent sideburns. ![]() I know of only one other instance of a player shaving during a game (although I bet there are others): Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, better known as the Bill Buckner Game. But in the 5th inning, whoa - not a whisker in sight! Feeling a bit drafty on the upper lip, Jason? Or at least that was the case on Monday night, when someone apparently informed Giambi that DH doesn’t stand for “demonstrably hirsute.” Check out his plate appearances: In the 1st inning he had that gross little ’70s porn star mustache that he’s been wearing this year. What does a DH do with all that time in between at-bats? If he’s Jason Giambi, he shaves off his mustache. ![]()
