Every year, the athletes of Major League Baseball get together and take ridiculous photos for the annual MLB Photo Day. It's one of our proudest sporting traditions at this point. 

Sure, these guys are getting paid millions and millions of dollars to play baseball on a daily basis, but does sitting in front of a camera ever really change? Not really, no.

Case in point: several of the athletes still look like they're posing for a 3rd grade school photo. For example, here we have Jack Murphy, who looks like the host of a public access carpentry show:

...followed by Jayson Werth with his smoldering gaze:

...who's followed by Bartolo Colon. Yes, this is the face of an athlete in 2015:

While they're not necessarily the worst photos in the world, they're definitely not going to show up in the photographer's portfolio as a source of pride in the years to come. Of course, nothing holds a candle to Washington Nationals second baseman, Danny Espinosa, who may be in possession of the greatest mustache mankind has seen in some time:

There's no way around it: that thing is magnificent.

That's the kind of mustache you would see while panhandling in Gold Rush-era California, or possibly upholding justice and protecting a boom-town from outlaw bandits. That's a straight-up cowboy mustache.

It's not as if there aren't other photos worth looking at: after all, the MLB isn't going to spend a ton of money on photographers if the pictures aren't going to turn out well. Even so, it's hard to imagine wanting to bother with all of those other 'normal' photos when something like Espinosa's mustache is out there for the world to see.

It's a level of facial fuzz that few ever see, and even fewer get to experience. Congratulations, Danny Espinosa: you are on an entirely different level than the rest of us.
