That may be a frown and not a Fu Manchu after this weekend.
It's a sad day for mustached men everywhere: Sal Fasano, one of the few uplifting stories of this sorry Phillies season, was designated for assignment over the weekend. Despite becoming a fan favorite, the hard working journeyman catcher's numbers just didn't impress the decision makers to keep on 3 catchers. There isn't much to say on the subject in my opinion. Sal was embraced for being a hard worker and a class act. I'd be surprised if he ever has to buy his own beer in Philadelphia.
So long, Sal, you will be missed.
