Our collective group over at JoeSportsFan.com are big fans of mustaches.  There, I said it.  That said, when Derrick Goold interviewed Cardinals hurler, Adam Wainwright, on Tuesday night and learned that the entire Cardinals pitching staff will be growing upper lip dusters, I was somewhat indifferent.

Frankly, the whole “growing mustaches for luck/attention” thing is somewhat played out (see: Dick Ankiel in ‘09, Clay Zavada in ‘09 and Jason Giambi in ‘08).

Nevertheless, we’re enjoying the recent Cardinals pitcher trend because we’re seeing a collective group of adult men transition through the dreaded “peach fuzz” phase – and that’s fun for the whole family.  For instance, when reliever Josh Kinney came off the DL a few weeks ago, he arrived with a full-blown lower nose beard.  Played out.  No fun.  Actually, kind of fun.  Whatever.

On the flip side, we’re seeing mustache goodness much like Albert Pujols in 2001…blossoming before our very eyes.
