As you may know, we at the Gray Matter Baseball Academy are big fans of Travis Snider. A few little-known facts: Upon reporting to Double-A New Hampshire in 2008, his new teammates put the "Snider" locker name tag on a bathroom stall ... He pulled a Roy Hobbs and hit bombs, winning the Eastern League Home Run Derby with majestic shots at a light tower in RF ... Snider made a cameo appearance in the indie film "K2 Swag District" during 2011 spring training. OK, that was a little cheesy if you clicked the link, but you have to respect our attempt at remaking a "Training Day" scene.
Snider brought his mustache into the 2011 season and posed for media day, knowing full-well the mugshot would be immortalized forever. That's dedication. My wife loves how the 'stache is juxtaposed against the boyish rosy cheeks ...

When did he transform from the Franchise to the Lunchbox? :)
What an excellent photo of Travis. Thanks for sharing, Kevin.
The Franchise tag was grieved by the MLB PA.
