With masks being one of the best ways to prevent the spread of coronavirus, face coverings are the hottest new fashion trend. Some opt for a simple and regal black mask, while others like colorful patterns and interesting designs.

When the A's arrived at summer camp on Wednesday, they chose the best look possible: Mike Fiers' atrocious beard.

Check it out:

Now, you might be wondering, "Just what on earth is on Fiers' face? Did he walk into a barber's office and say, 'Just wreck my face'?"

Well, kind of. The look came courtesy of a dare from Fiers' teammates, who didn't think he would take the mound with a beard he found while googling. (Yes, baseball players really are just like us.)

What they learned was that the pitcher with two no-hitters and "Fiers" tattooed on his arm has no time for vanity.

“They dared me to do it,” Fiers said after the game which the A's won 8-6. “They didn't think I'd go out there and pitch with it. I didn't care.”

Thanks to Fiers' courage, we have our first great prank of the 2020 season.
