6. Randy Johnson: Tall and thin and built to win.
Ah, the mullet. What else elicits images of homemade gin stills, dirty t-shirts and guys named “Earl” like this woeful hair style? We thought once Billy Ray Cyrus exited the public view that we’d be saved from the recurrence of the great long and greasy coiffure in popular culture. But nay. Some clearly missed the memo.
I suppose when you’re 6’10”, 225 lbs., can throw a ball 98 MPH and win 5 Cy Young awards, your teammates kind of lay off the “nice hair” comments in the locker room. Still, come on, guys. A simple gift card to Great Clips could have been a nice hint around Christmas. Of course, even later in his career when The Big Unit finally cut off the faux mane, he did not become a finalist in People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive contest. Perhaps their ginger hair and beady eyes quota had been met.
