Mo-season is upon us and mustache rides are free!

Tuesday marks the start of Movember.  Every man, woman, university student, and awkward prepubescent teenager's favorite time of year.  This is the one month of the year you can grow a dirty mustache and not only is it socially acceptable but it is encouraged because it is a fundraiser for a great cause.  Prostate cancer will affect 1 in 7 men in Canada; about 26,000 are diagnosed with the disease every year, let's raise some money to help make it history.

I'll be using this blog to document my first Movember experience and daily updates of my mo.  Yes, you read that right, even if you're not in Victoria you'll get to see my stash from birth it's ultimate demise by a Mach 3 razor on December 1st.  I've never sported a stash before so this is uncharted territory for my upper lip.

Through out the month I'll be sharing information about how prostate cancer has affected my family, the latest research, and the mustache of the day.  I will post a link to my online donation site shortly with the goal of raising $500.  That's about ~$15 per day so open your wallets people!

Famous Bro. Mo. Of The Day

This is Rollie Fingers - he may have the most famous ever stash to step on the diamond in the MLB.  In the spring of 1972 Oakland Athletics owner Charles Finley, who would do anything to sell tickets, offered a $300 bonus ($1550 in today's dollars) to the player on the team that could grow the best mo.  Rollie accepted and dominated this challenge much like he did major league baseball in 70s and 80s.  Not only did Rollie have the best mo. in baseball but his list of personal  accomplishments is longer then those beautiful curls: AL MVP, Cy Young winner, World Series MVP, 3x World Series Champion, and first relief pitcher to be introduced into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

For everything you've done for the world of mustaches and baseball, I salute you.
