Mississippi State baseball coach John Cohen had a long-standing rule against his players sporting facial hair. In protest, one of his pitchers, Trevor Fitts, assembled a Powerpoint presentation titled “Why having a beard will help the Mississippi State baseball team go to Omaha [where the College World Series is held].” The rule was rescinded – and guess where they’re headed now?
The story of the presentation came out last week during a discussion about how much fun this team has (and how goofy they are). The loose style of play is what the players and coaches credit with their reaching the College World Series.
And beards.
