Cleveland Indians all-time mustache team

The Cleveland Indians needed an all-mustache team. You didn’t ask, yet I answered. Here’s your roster to breakdown this Movember.

The Cleveland Indians have had some beloved players throughout their history.

That’s going to happen when you’ve been around over 100 years.

But there’s a niche of Tribe alumni who might be a little more endearing to facial hair advocates who faithfully follow Chief Wahoo.

So, take this trip down memory lane and get to know the Indians’ all-time mustache team.

Andrew Miller, bullpen ace

Andrew Miller must’ve been relieved to leave the New York Yankees, in a trade that sent the dominant left-handed reliever to the Indians before the 2016 deadline.

The Yankees are strict when it comes to facial hair, and prohibit their players from growing it.

Cleveland set Miller free.

He brought back his trademark beard for awhile, but during a stint on the DL, his facial hair hit rarified air.

Forget watching him pitch. The image of a mustache-clad miller made you want to grab a stump and talk about Joshua Chamerlin defense of Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg..

Miller wasn’t a huge part of the Indians’ 22-game winning streak on the field, but off the field, he was doing what guys with wild facial hair should do: Crush.

Miller famously had coolers of Miller Lite delivered to his thirsty teammates.

Because it’s always Miller Time, right?

Miller, along with Terry Francona, changed the way relievers are used during the 2016 postseason.

Francona employed Miller, his best reliever, during the most high-leverage moments during the Tribe’s run to the World Series, rather than waiting for his typically scheduled late inning appearance, as every other manager would’ve done.

Andrew Miller’s ‘stache usually morphs into a full-blown beard. I”m not leaving him off this list, though, are you?
