Fans needn't fear Jayson Werth's Cha-Cha-Cha Chia Beard

SOME NATIONALS fans might not have liked the Jayson Werth giveaway item they got at the ballpark last night.

But if they give it some time, it'll grow on them.

Growing, after all, is what Chia Pets do best. Last night's promotion, given to the first 20,000 to attend the game against the Diamondbacks at Nationals Park, was a Chia Pet likeness of Werth that grows a full, grassy beard.

It ought to look great next to previous Werth giveaway items, including last year's garden gnome.

Snuff already

Boston mayor Marty Walsh wants to snuff out the use of chewing tobacco at all Beantown sports arenas, including Fenway Park.
