Most famous body hair in San Diego Padres history

- Steve Garvey's forearm hair. He had forearms like Popeye and forearm hair like Zeus.
- The Swinging Friar's tonsure. I didn't know his shaved scalp was called a tonsure either.
- Bruce Bochy's mustache and white eyelashes. Most people probably would point to Bochy's mustache as his most recognizable and famous body hair, but if you were ever lucky enough to get close to the legendary manager you'd first notice that one set of his eye lashes were pristine white like a unicorn's mane.
- Khalil Greene's blonde hair. Khalil's hair was as flat and lifeless as his personality but somehow those few strands of dry whispy hair sticking out the back of his ball cap put fans in the seats at Petco and Khalil into the hearts of many teenage girls.
- Ken Caminiti's goatee and chest hair. In the mid to late 90's every guy in San Diego tried to grow the Cammy goatee, some succeeded, but nobody could replicate his perfect chest hair.
- Trevor Hoffman's ultra short goatee. How many times did we see an extreme close up of Hoffman's flesh colored goatee with a little bit of spit and chew stuck in it during a save situation?
- Rollie Fingers' mustache. Fingers' waxed mustache was a desperate cry for attention, but it has kept him famous all these years.
- Ozzie Smith's sideburns. Here's a little known fact: Ozzie never would have been able to do those back flips in the early days if his sideburns didn't help him roll, acting like a jet's aerilons.
- Randy Jones' Afro. I don't think anybody is still alive that saw the Afro in person, but oh the stories they could tell.
You tell us what #10 should be. Did any Padre have extreme neck hair? A good mullet? Inverted sideburns? Messy pubes?

Scan's the man
Just look at that head of hair! I’m a big Scan fan, but I can’t help but think of Anchorman every time I see him. And the fact that this picture is so big, makes his hair even more intimidating.
My first introduction to HDTV was one of those closeups of Trevor with the brown spit and chew dribbling down his goatee, in HD
It’s no wonder it took me 3 years to get over that trauma and buy my own HDTV.

I'm not sure it makes the top 10, but...
Klesko had some pretty stupid sideburn action going there for awhile.
Rod Beck's gotta be on this list.

BTW - Heard Heath on the radio yesterday and he mentioned that when he looks in for the sign...
and he’s got his pitching arm hanging/swinging, that’s a sort of a tribute to Rod Beck. He started doing that when he saw Beck doing it.

Yep.
He rocked the fu manchu for a minute as a tribute at one point, too.

That's awesome. I didn't know that.
He said yesterday that he’d love to grow out the mullet as a tribute as well, but he doesn’t think his wife will ever let him.

For some reason,
I was thinking Marcus Giles had a unibrow but I looked it up and, nope, just two huge Ben Stiller sized ones.

This card
I’ve always loved this 1978 Topps card. Look in the background. It’s Yankee Stadium. The card was airbrushed, since Gamble was a White Sock in 1977, and wasn’t a Padre until 1978. The first time I ever saw this card, I said, “When did the Padres ever play in Yankee Stadium?”
