Tiger Baseball Gets ‘Stached

Now this is a promo to love, one Rollie Fingers and the swingin’ A’s of the 1970s would appreciate.

Throughout March, the U of M baseball team will grow mustaches as part of “Mustache March” to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Memphis. Donations will be accepted at all Tiger home games, and fake mustaches will be sold for $1 each.

The Tigers host 11 games this month, including a game at AutoZone Park (against Arkansas) on March 23rd. All the hairy fun begins this Friday when the Tigers host Oral Roberts at FedExPark. First pitch is at 4:30. The game serves as the opener for the U of M Baseball Classic.
