Ah, yes. Early-2000s facial hair. There’s nothing quite like it. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a little trip down memory lane to appreciate the career – and squirrel-like facial hair – of former Chicago Cubs right-hander Matt Clement.
A former third-round pick out of high school, Clement made his big league debut in 1998 at the age of 23. In 2001, the San Diego Padres sent him to the Marlins in a trade. He lasted just one year in Miami before the Fish flipped him to Chicago in the deal that netted Antonio Alfonseca and sent the likes of Dontrelle Willis to the Marlins.
