Holy cow, you gotta see Danny Espinosa's mustache

Danny Espinosa may not win the Washington Nationals' starting second base job, that's why they traded for Yunel Escobar, but Espinosa probably has the offseason mustache-growing contest on lock. Look how he reported to Nats training camp Thursday:

The Nats reporters have compared it to Yosemite Sam or Hulk Hogan. But The Stew prefers the assertion that it's more like Clu Haywood, the slugger in "Major League" played by ex-big leaguer and MLB facial hair Hall of Famer Pete Vuckovich.

Before you get used to the idea of Espinosa sporting that thing on the field, you might recall that he reported to spring training in 2013 with a wild beard too and then proceeded to shave the thing off. The process was documented in the video below.

It's not up to us, but we implore you, Danny: Keep the 'stache. Maybe it's the mojo you need to hit above .220.
