MUSTACHE OF THE DAY
The setup: you're a woman in Boston, 1980, just getting off work and wanting to feel her oats a little. You know, the rain has lightened up to a light pounding drizzle, and the temperature has risen to a welcoming 38 degrees outside, which means spring in Boston, the time of regeneration, new hope, and cheap sex in a tiny apartment with a man you'll ditch by May.
So you hit Frankie's bar and get a few Long Island Ice Teas in you, and you start scoping the scene. Oh, you're looking for a man with a 'stache beyond compare, because this is 1980, and mustaches aren't just lip cozies...no, they're badges of uncontrollable sexual potency. And as if on cue, just as Boz Scaggs' "Love, Look What You've Done to Me" cranks up on the jukebox, he walks in:

Nothing says sex like Peter Gammons with a mustache.

Gammons kinda has that Donald Sutherland-deranged English teacher look to him in this picture. I wonder if he was as yellow from the booze then as he is now?

This reminds me of one of my favorite ESPN commercial where Gammons had a stalker.

Hey Orson and Stranko.
I’m guessing this will be your next post.

That picture is the exact same picture under Peter Gammons name on the list of Baseball Writer Award Winners at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Dead serious.

So with a mustache like that was he automatically required to register as a sex offender?

gammons went on to spend four years on the boston police department, 2 years on the fire department and six months giving free mustache rides.

great to see I am not the only one who enjoys the world of staches. Keep up the good work!

Gammons was ahead of his time. From leinart to plummer to that chick on Lost, it’s easy to see staches are the wave of the future.
