Ah, BRIAN WILSON.  He's our beloved San Francisco Giants closer, but he still has a hard time in his relatively short baseball career deciding on whether to go with a close shave or a goatee, soul patch, punker look or just letting it all hang out. 

Take a minute and peruse the above photos of Brian and let us know which one is your favorite, and maybe he'll be inspired to either go with fan opinion or totally surprise us in the days to come.

Anyways, good job this year, Mr. Wilson.  You performed valiantly in the latter innings and your All-Star appearance was well deserved!

As much as he looks like a dumbass

He's a lumberjack and he's ok.

He goes to the lava-treeee!

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

Is Brian's bearded look it a tribute to Lumberjacks or Jesus?

(From a New York reporter’s interview with Brian at the all-star break)

6. What is one thing that people need to stop talking about?
BW: There’s a million things. Talking specifically baseball?
TB: Sure.
BW: I don’t want to bite my tongue, so I don’t want to say anything.
TB: OK, what’s one thing not in baseball then?
BW: Can’t narrow it down. I can’t think of anything. I’m blanking.
TB: Then maybe what’s one thing people need to talk more about?
BW: In baseball, one thing people need to start talking about more in baseball… need to start talking more about Christ.
7. What is the best rivalry in baseball?
BW: Only because it’s televised all the time, I’d say Boston-Yankees. I grew up in Massachusetts watching it, so I don’t really know our rivalry (Giants-Dodgers) that well except playing in it. I don’t even think it’s a rivalry anymore. I think it’s just grown into one.
TB: It looks pretty intense on TV.
BW: It’s intense, yeah. It’s intense. The crowd makes it real intense for us. It’s definitely fun playing in our park, playing against our rival. But the biggest rivalry, I’d say, is Boston-Yankees.
8. What is your current entrance music?
BW: The group’s called Disciple, the song is Rise Up.
TB: Why that?
BW: It’s a Christian rock band (almost Christian metal, in fact, and Disciple’s song "Game On" has 32 different variations – one for each NFL team). They just have a good message and it pumps me up so I can get in a good mood and hopefully get the job done.
TB: Do people ask you the Beach Boys question a lot?
BW: Yes.
TB: Are you sick of it?
BW: No, not at all. The guy’s talented, and probably one of the sickest bands ever formed, so it doesn’t bother me that much.

2008 Season in Summary: We haven't had a twenty-first baseman all year. How did that happen? Silly. It's almos.

It should probably look more like (BS, W) as of late.

Hey Natto...

What do you call that “W” look? Is that what he does when he blows a save and winds up with a “Win?”

Definitely lumberjack.

..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.

Lumberjack reminds me of this guy...

Question: Do you think Billy Mays talks loud at his wife and kids in real life?

Soul patch.

The only way to improve on the soul patch is to man-scape your pubes into Soul Patch Jr.

The soul patch is the lowest form of facial hair. There is not a man in the world who looks good with a soul patch.

What man? Which man? Who’s the man? When’s a man a man? What makes a man a man? Am I a man? Yes. Technically I am. - FotC

Wouldn’t the shape of his razor cut look like a “M” instead of a “W”?

It's a nice day to SAVE AGAIN

I vote for Billy Idol

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

or ‘Shave’ again?

On second thought..

I think I’d like to see a ZZ Top beard on him. Can anyone see Billy Gibbons coming at you with a 98 MPH heater? That would be scary.

The all-caps VOTE really turned me off from voting.

Don’t push me into it, man!
