Debate: Best Hair in Baseball

Some baseball players have bad hair. Some have great hair. Then there are the players whose golden manes shine on the diamond like a spotlight in the night. They’re the ones who round third base, then 10 seconds later their hair does too. Their locks are so majestic that it almost seems like a crime to cover that beautifulness up with a ball cap. Well, I figured I’d rank the top 5 Hairdo’s in Baseball right now so you can fully experience their epicness.

5. Johnny Cueto

Oh, man, does he have nice dreads. They dance behind him as he throws.

4. Colby Rasmus

If you asked me to describe Colby’s hair, I’d die of old age before I was done explaining the magnificence of it.

3. Jeff Samardzija

His flowing brown head curtain syncs up perfectly with his 3 Musketeers facial hair.

2. Covelli (Coco) Crisp

It almost seems like Crisp invented a time machine and used it to go back to the 70s to steal his hairdo from a New York Disco.

1. Joe Mauer

We all swoon when we see Mauer and his unbelievably incredible head of hair. Thank you, Head and Shoulders…. thank you.

Honorable Mentions

-Jarrod Saltalamacchia

Not even a Red Sox cap can tame these curls. They’re wild and free.

-Bryce Harper

Harper is just flat out owning that “weird cousin who got really into Urban Outfitters” look.

-Josh Reddick

The only thing more incredible than Reddick’s hair is his beard.
