Mike Fiers' Facial Hair Draws Amazing Reactions on Twitter
Oakland A's pitcher Mike Fiers was only on the mound for less than two innings on Saturday before [...]
How did Mike Fiers come up with this unique design on his face? He says that it was a simple Google search, but there are many that weren't convinced. In fact, some individuals on Twitter actually believe that he walked into the barbershop and gave a very simple request. The barber just took it too literally.

Mike Fiers may be a superstar player in the MLB, but he may have a secret career path. There are some that actually believe he moonlights as someone filming infomercials about getting money from the government. In this instance, he was compared to Matthew Lesko, the man who was known for his series of question mark suits.

Photoshop is a wonderful tool. Without it, the fans on Twitter would be unable to create their own explanations for Mike Fiers and his facial hair choices. Is there a monkey trying to strangle him? Is there a cat on his shoulder? Everything is truly on the table, thanks to Adobe.

Mike Fiers already revealed that his teammates originally dared him to make this bold decision with his facial hair, but he didn't reveal any details about the other players on the Oakland A's. For example, does one of them walk around in a green suit carrying a cane in the shape of a question mark? If so, he might be the one to blame for this decision.

There is a belief by many that the rich have so much money that they can make absurd choices. In fact, some envision a specific amount of cash that allows the freedom to do whatever you want. Has Mike Fiers reached that point in his baseball career? He's under contract for the next season and is slated to make north of $8 million. Is this the amount of money required to make bold decisions about clothing and facial hair?

Mike Fiers may have been dared by his teammates to make this facial hair decision, but there are others that believe he was an unwilling participant. Men have a history of messing with friends that fall asleep early. Whether it's painting their toenails or shaving their heads, there is a trend of bizarre moves by "friends." Was Fiers the unlucky one that fell asleep early?

Some MLB fans believe that Mike Fiers was trying to draw extra attention to himself while others believed that he was under the influence of a banned substance. However, there could be a different explanation. Maybe this decision to shave his beard in such a way was actually high-level gamesmanship. How many batters were distracted by his facial hair and struggled at the plate?

There was plenty of skepticism surrounding Fiers and his facial hair, especially considering that his team is destined for the playoffs. Why would he do something so goofy at the most important part of the season? Maybe, he's been watching too many reruns of Whose Line is it Anyway and wanted to copy Colin Mochrie.

Love or hate the facial hair design, there were plenty of fans that simply grew hungry at the sight of Mike Fiers. Yes, his beard looked like a monkey tail or a question mark, but that was not the only resemblance in play. There were countless individuals on social media that actually saw a cinnamon roll.

While the overwhelming majority on Twitter found this move by Mike Fiers to be hilarious, there were many others that actually became angry at the sight of his beard. In their opinion, he was not respecting the Oakland A's or the sport. The sanctity of the game was far more important than making people laugh, and Fiers should be fined for his actions.
prevI could see doing something this immature and asinine if I played for a team out of it. But, the A’s are playing for a playoff spot. Are you kidding me? Hopefully he’s fined by the team. Embarrassing.
