Pitching coach Bryan Price shaved his mustache shortly after Game 3. He grew it because of a promise to Homer Bailey.
"It's funny because as soon as Homer threw that no-hitter in Pittsburgh, he reminded me of the mustache deal," Pricesaid. "I don't remember it. I'm sure I said something in spring training that, 'If any of you incompetents can potentially somehow throw a no-hitter, I would grow a mustache,' or something like that. Obviously all in jest.
"So after he was mobbed by his teammates that's the first thing he said to me on the field in Pittsburgh.
"I thought, OK, I'm sure I said something like that. So I think I honored it. Almost two weeks worth of mustache, looking at yourself for a ridiculous mustache, for me, didn't look too sharp. So I honored it, going on national television with a mustache in a game that Homer pitched and then once he got done with it, I couldn't get it off fast enough."
