Mike Ford is hoping a new look will help bring some new results in 2021.
Shortly after the Yankees announced he was being called up from the alternate site, Ford posted a photo of himself in the Yankee locker room with a Don Mattingly-esque mustache, which he will be sporting in his first big-league action of the season.
Ford seems to be declaring 2021 the season of the ‘stache.
“Happy to be back,” the captian read on Ford’s Instagram post. “Stache szn?”
Ford is hoping for a turnaround in 2021 after batting below .200 in 39 games last season. He enjoyed plenty of success in 2019 as one of the many unexpected contributors that season, but wasn’t able to replicate it last year.
Fortunately for Ford, a struggling and now retired Jay Bruce didn’t leave the biggest shoes to fill in terms of offensive and defensive production until Luke Voit returns.
