Sports Hair of the Week

In a surprising twist, this week's RV99 Hair of the Week Award goes out to honor facial hair for the first tiem in the award's history. For his efforts to support cancer research and love for his mother during Mother's Day Weekend, Nick Swisher takes home this week's honor for his recently-died pink goatee. A group of children from Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation, a national support group for those affected by pediatric cancer, watched as Swisher, catcher Toby Hall and SP John Danks took the pink plunge while seated on top of the White Sox's dugout on Wednesday afternoon. The players also made a donation on behalf of their teammates. Swisher said the players will keep the pink dye in place through at least Sunday -- maybe longer if they get hot.

Hungry?? Why Wait?

Babe Ruth was well-known for satisfying his enormous appetite with hot dogs and beers in the dugout during games. In last night's Yankees vs. White Sox game in the 5th inning, Sox CF (and fattest leadoff hitter in baseball) Nick Swisher, was unable to catch Jorge Posada's line drive double that scored 2 runs. Rather than stopping the ball with his glove, Swisher snagged the baseball with his mouth like a golden retriever (NOTE: speaking of golden, Swisher began the season with one of the ugliest blonde dye-job goatees in baseball history). Once the inning ended, Swisher came running back to dugout in a rage of hunger, looking for anything short of a water cooler to shove in his mouth!
