Colby Rasmus pleases haters by shaving beard

Feb. 22 (UPI) — Are you happy now?

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Colby Rasmus is on longer sporting an epic beard after shaving it off Wednesday.

Rasmus, who signed with the Rays last month, was getting plenty of attention for the new addition, which extended several inches below his chin. After getting a lot of criticism about his facial hair, he said goodbye. The Rays posted a photo on social media with the caption: “for all interested parties.” The photo featured Rasmus rubbing his newly smooth-surfaced face.

The left-handed hitter owns a career .241 average and came over from the Houston Astros this offseason after previous stints with the St. Louis Cardinals and Toronto Blue Jays. He is expected to compete for a rotation spot in the Rays’ outfield.
