CLEVELAND – It stands out, ironically because it is so hard to see.

Fans at the stadium may only glimpse it as Austin Brice makes his way from the mound to the dugout. Fans watching at home will require a close-up.

It’s a bit wispy, and its dirty blonde color almost blends it in to the rest of his face. But the 24-year-old Cincinnati Reds reliever isn’t ashamed of his mustache, no matter how much it may push the limits of meaning of the term.

“It’s actually been (growing) a while, and it’s quite bad for as long as it’s been,” Brice said.
