Proposed amendment to the baseball constitution

"The pitcher shall be clean shaven."

Seriously. These unwieldy beards the Giants pitchers are wearing give them an unfair advantage.

Q: What two things do the following gentlemen have in common?

Abraham Lincoln

Chuck Norris

Gandalf

Two thirds of ZZ Top

Porter Rockwell

Zeus

A: (1) They all have very obvious beards, and (2) They all have post-season earned-run averages under 2.00.

Coincidence? I submit you you that it is NOT!
