KEN REITZ

Ken Reitz was an all-star third baseman and gold glover for the St. Louis Cardinals when the Cubs acquired him along with Leon Durham for future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter before the 1981 season.

After arriving in Chicago, Reitz promptly forgot how to hit (.215). The Cubs released him after only one season, and he was out of the big leagues altogether just one year later.

But he did have a very respectable mustache.

On the other hand, Molinaro's mustache was missed after he was sold to the Philadelphia Phillies in August of 1982. Only five other Cub outfielders sported mustaches that year (Durham, Moreland, Woods, Morales, and Scot Thompson).
