In possibly no other era have we seen such grizzly greatness in professional sports.
Men across all platforms are donning an insane amount facial hair, making men like me incredibly jealous. I still can’t grow more than the average high-schooler…
While the New York Yankees are still holding strong their ‘no facial hair’ policy, these men have turned their beards into not only works of art, but a trademark to their persona.
