Eduardo Nunez will represent the Twins in this year's All-Star Game at Petco Park. As such, he received what has become the traditional honor bestowed to Minnesota's All-Stars: A fan shaved Nunez's name and jersey number into his back hair. He showed it off during the Twins' 8-6 win over the Rangers at Globe Life Park on Saturday:
You may recall that Joe Mauer received the same tribute in 2012:
As did Brian Dozierin 2014:
Apparently, there is no greater honor for Twins players than being enshrined in back hair. And from the fan's perspective, when it's too hot for an authentic jersey or even a shirsey, the back-hair jersey isn't a bad third option.
So, what does Nunez, who homered in Saturday's win, think of joining Mauer and Dozier in this very exclusive club?
