CARMEN FANZONE

Although he played 2B and 3B and was one of the players who wore #23 like Ryne Sandberg, Carmen's similarities with the Future Hall of Famer ended there. Fanzone was probably better known for his musical abilities and his incredible mustache than he was for the .190 he hit backing up Bill Madlock in 1974.

He played four seasons for the Cubs as a backup infielder (1971-74), and wasn't much of a hitter, but he played the trumpet so well the Cubs asked him to perform the National Anthem. After his playing career ended, he pursued his musical dreams and played the jazz flugelhorn. He even played with Johnny Carson's Tonight Show band.

And his mustache remains the mustache against which all other mustaches are measured.
