Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā With their season fast approaching, the UMaine Baseball team has been getting ready and practicing a lot, but for the past month you may not have recognized them. The whole team participated in āMovemberā, a month dedicated to not shaving your moustache. Some people do no-shave November for the fun of it, but the baseball team decided to grow for a purpose.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The team raised $350 to raise awareness for menās Prostate Cancer and Health. The team, as a whole, decided it would be a fun way to raise awareness, as many of the team members had already decided to participate in no-shave November. The team is not necessarily waiting until next November to get back to raising money. They look forward to more opportunities to raise awareness for menās Prostate Cancer and Health.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā As adult men, not shaving for a month means it is safe to assume there were some impressive mustaches to be seen on the student athletes. From talking to a few of the players, the competition for ābest moustacheā was close! According to Aj Bazdanes, senior pitcher for the Black Bears, Tommy Lawrence and Steve Trask took the cake for best moustaches. Bazdanes described Lawrenceās āstache as more of ā70s vibe, while Trask looked like Mario from the video games. Sam Balzano, a sophomore out fielder, had a slightly different opinion on the competition. āMike Fransoso or Steve Traskā¦ It was a close tie.ā Balzano, however, thinks that Tommy Lawrence would have had the other two beat if he hadnāt shaved.
Her Campus UMaine is declaring the UMaine Baseball team the winner of āMovemberā, for their efforts to raise money for a great cause and great mustaches of course.
