Things I Never Needed to Know
Like how sausage is made and the story of one’s conception, there are some things that I’m fine with having swept under the rug. Which is why I didn’t care if Don Mattingly grew a goatee because the Dodgers were winning or because he felt like he needed a change or if he just hated how his face looked. The cover story was fine as is.
But today, Dylan Hernandez had to pull back the veil:
“Mattingly shaved his goatee. Said he grew it because he had a cold sore on the left side of his lip.”
Sometimes the ease of social media is a problem. Had there only been newsprint, chances are good this tidbit would never have seen the light of day.
