Blue Jays’ Danny Jansen Explains Why He Shaved Mustache Mid-Game

Danny Jansen had a lot of people questioning whether he shaved mid-game Friday night.

The Blue Jays catcher was sporting a mustache early in Toronto’s game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Later in the contest, however, the facial hair appeared to be gone.

Take a look:

So, did he or did he not bust out the razor during the game?

Jansen confirmed after the Blue Jays’ 12-1 win that he indeed shaved during the game because he was 0-for-3 and had a feeling the mustache had something to do with it.

“I told myself I’d give it two, three at-bats see what happened,” he told Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae after the game. “I got an RBI, but I shaved it and next thing I know I got a hit. I did the same thing last year in Triple-A, for some reason I’m 2-for-2 with the mustache shave.”

Hey, whatever works.
