The biggest news in Boston sports Saturday morning was Jerry Remy's Instagram post where he shaved off the mustache he had worn for the last 46-or-so years.

At the conclusion the post Remy says, "Hey Eck, I shaved mine. Here's a challenge to you. Go get it."
Well, not even the current quarantine -- or Remy's salvo -- is going to lead Eckersley to shave a mustache he has had since 1976. That bit of news was confirmed by the former pitcher to WEEI.com in a text message Tuesday.
Eckersley does point to evidence of the last time he went mustache-less: His 1976 rookie baseball card:
