The facial hair situation for the White Sox has gotten even worse since last month. At least this time it’s UFH for a good cause!
Nick Swisher gets a dye job on his UFH from Jeremy Campus, who has cancer, to raise awareness about breast cancer for Mother’s Day, which is this coming Sunday.
(Let’s hope for his sake that he got Ma Swisher some flowers instead of, say, a slightly used blow-up doll.)

We here at Umpbump have done quite a few all-time teams. We’ve also cataloged quite a series of Hot Baseball Wives. In this post, I will attempt the acrobatic feat of bridging the twain. Yes, reader: The All-Hot Team.
For reasons of attention span, or specifically, the lack of it, I am focusing on current major [...]

The rate at which home runs have been flying out of the new Yankee Stadium has been a hot topic since the first weeks of the season, but up to now the statheads have been urging caution and calm. “Small sample size” they have cried.
But as we close in on the two month mark, it [...]

For all the bile and hatred Bud Selig and his New Media Goons invoked a few years ago with their DirecTV exclusive deal, you’ve got to give them credit for turning things around and winning me over with this year’s incarnation of MLB.TV.
This productivity killer app, created by the Advance Media arm of MLB, has [...]

Since 1999, there has been an annual tradition among a group of my friends whereby I name a preseason list of “Unquestioned Aces” and then everyone questions my list. This year being the 10th anniversary of this tradition, I thought I would share the list with UmpBump as well.
My personal definition of an “unquestioned ace” [...]

It’s not just the pitchers. Swisher has the soul patch part of his goatee dyed blond unlike the rest of his beard. It looks like a calico cat is sitting on his chin.

“If they do,” Alejandro? “If”?! Surely this is not a matter of “if” but “when.”
What’s really sad about Boone is that he used to be hot, before his chin became engulfed with hair. Behold:
How, how the mighty have fallen.

Ah, that explains Swisher’s mediocre . 214 BA. But what’s with me and missing this?
I gotta play closer attention to my computer screen!

The blond patch is kind of hard to see unless they do a close up of his face. I would hate to say you let it slip past you because that is not pretty imagery. It doesn’t stand out and I had to do a double take to figure out what it was the first time I noticed it. I would imagine it grows out in a hurry, so he may not keep it for long. Logan’s look is very reminiscent of Matt Clement, not a good thing.

Yeah, that’s true, Melissa. We all know only too well what happened to Matt Clement.

Check out Toby Hall, the backup catcher. He’s got a bleached strip with the goatee. Very odd.

good eye, tom
Alright, that’s it. We got a serious UFH outbreak here, people.

I can only conclude that this was some sort of team hazing ritual and/or friendly all-roster wager.

They should be charged with UFH crimes against humanity. Swisher has taken it to a new level, that’s just wrong. Maybe he’s going out of his way to get noticed since he’s new in town. If he goes to restaurants and bars they will immediately recognize him as a baseball player because no normal guy could disfigure themselves in that manner and still get laid.

I can’t knock any of it, as I have a goat longer than Boone Logan’s (dyed Padres blue) and I hail from Nick Swisher’s hometown of Parkersburg, WV.
