WATN: Sal Fasano
Our boy Sal made his first appearance with the Yankees last night. Good to see his attitude hasn't changed much. NY Times, final item:
The quote of the day came from new catcher Sal Fasano, who joined his seventh major league team in six years: “You’re just an animal sometimes, and you go from zoo to zoo.”
If you can tell from the picture, Sal didn't shave his whole 'stache, just the Fu Manchu part.
Fasano, who started on Wednesday night for the Yanks in Texas, kept his mustache but had to shave the Fu Manchu part of it.
“You don't know how hard that was,'' Fasano said.“The Fu Manchu is easy to get used to. I liked it.”
Is it bad that I may now be pulling for the Evil Empire to get a ring this year? From the picture above, I'm glad Sal hasn't lost any of his grace and agility.
Is it bad? Yes. You're sick in the head, obviously.

Notice that if Fasano misses that bunt, he gets beaned in the face.
I thought it was an ugly bunt when I saw it live last night, but man, this picture solidfies the non-athlete that is Sal Fasano.
The only question that remains is if Yankees fans will form their own Sal's Pals contingent.

Thanks for the updated Sal pic, Enrico! Now he looks like a heavier, right-handed-hitting Don Mattingly ...
