Mustache Day, The Morning After

These players, listed in no particular order, may not have had what it takes to make the First Team, All-Mustache, however I felt they still deserved an honorable mention.

Carney LansfordHit .336 for the '89 World Champion Oakland Athletics.

Mike GreenwellFinished 2nd in the '88 AL MVP voting and now insists he should get the award because of Jose Canseco's admitted steroid use.

Cecil Fielder
Hit 50+ home runs in a season back when nobody hit 50+ home runs in a season, 1990.

Don Mattingly and Wade BoggsTwo of the toughest outs of the 80's, they combined to play in 18 All-Star games, both finished with more career walks than strikeouts, and were actually teammates from 1993-1995.

Goose Gossage124 career wins, 310 career saves, and a 9-time All-Star.

Frank Viola1988 Cy Young Award winner, also won a World Series with Minnesota in '87.

Jack Morris

Turned in one of the greatest World Series pitching performances ever, tossing a 10-inning shutout in game 7 of the '91 Series against Atlanta. Won Series MVP, and 254 games in his career.

Dan GladdenTough, top-of-the-order out on World Champion Minnesota Twins in '87 and '91.

Doug Drabek
Won 22 games and the NL Cy Young award in 1990. Posted 5 straight seasons with a sub-3.10 ERA from 1988-1992.
