John Axford’s Mustache Facts

Good Sunday Brewskies.  This week I thought it would be fun for me to explore the lore of John’s mustache.  In order to understand why I am doing this, you must first understand me.  I am a man who is envious of a good mustache, for you see I can not grow my own.  Facial hair is every man’s right and privilege, so when I see a man with a wonderful mustache I grow sick with envy.  Maybe envy isn’t the right word, perhaps longing is more appropriate.  Anyway, the first time I saw John Axford walk out of the bullpen I knew that there was more to the story of that mustache.

     As I began to research the mustache, I couldn’t help but notice that it has it’s own Facebook page  http://www.facebook.com/pages/John-Axfords-Mustache/124222330940439.  You may notice there is no Info in the Info tab…….the plot thickens.   The truth of the matter is that the mustache seems to have appeared out of nowhere.  There is no record of it’s registry in the mustache archives of Zurich, nor is there a date of birth on record.  Where did this mustache come from?  I consulted my brother-in-law, who is much smarter than me, on what I could do to find the information I desired. 

My brother-in-law said that he would need some time to do research and run some tests.  You see, he lives in Wisconsin and has more access to reference materials on the mustache in question.  I waited patiently for his response.  On Tuesday he called me with some news.  He said, ” I have only seen one other case of such exquisite facial hair…….”  That is what lead me to Chuck Norris.

You would be surprised how many facts you can find about that guy.  They all seem pretty impressive.  This got me thinking, what does Chuck Norris have that Ax’s mustache doesn’t have.  So, without further adieu I present:
