Adam Morgan gets chance to restart career with Phillies | Mike Sielski

DUNEDIN, Fla. – Adam Morgan has the beard necessary to be a dominant relief pitcher. It is brown and fuzzy and full around his mouth, and it would place him on that long continuum of closers and setup men who grew and groomed their facial hair to fit their personae and, maybe, to send a message. From Rollie Fingers’ tip-twirled mustache to the intimidating handlebars of Al Hrabosky and Rod Beck to the ink-black bush that covered Brian Wilson’s lower jaw, the hair on a reliever’s mug can make him appear a little different, a little arrogant and unconventional, a little … weird.
