TIM BLACKWELL

Look at that shrubbery on his face! Now, that's a mustache! With Blackwell on the roster from 1978-1980, the Cubs knew that they had someone who could hit against both lefties and righties (he was a switch hitter), and if necessary, an emergency understudy for any Wyatt Earp movie being filmed in the ballpark.

Unfortunately for the Cubs, Blackwell wasn't much of a hitter (he hit .223, .164, .272, and .234 in his four seasons), and he made quite a few errors in the one season he played the most (1980).

But that mustache! He could have been in a barbershop quartet.
