So which is longer, anyway: Dallas Keuchel's beard or Chris Archer's hair?
In a year dominated by hair of all shapes and sizes, one man's facial follicles ruled above them all: American League Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel, who received an endorsement from no less a bearded luminary than James Harden.
But while most of MLB has spent the offseason pushing tires or running obstacle courses to prepare for 2016, Rays ace Chris Archer is after a different crown -- Hair King of MLB. Just a couple of weeks ago, Archer went on Hot Stove to plug his dedication to his 'do, and on Monday, he took the campaign to Twitter:
Question: is the hair on my head longer than the hair on @kidkeuchy (Dallas Keuchel) face? Or no?

Keuchel, however, refused to take the bait, remaining humble atop this throne:
We'll have to get an official measurement team to come out first 😂.. But you definitely got the upper hand! https://t.co/7OGf18z76o

Unwilling to wait on that official measurement team, though, we felt compelled to ask: Just whose hair is longer, after all? Vote in the poll below, and make your voice heard in this vital debate.
