What is happening with Brandon Belt’s facial hair?

This morning, while perusing Twitter in search of my next great investigative journalism story to pursue, I saw a tweet from San Francisco Giants beat reporter Alex Pavlovic. It was a picture of a man with some facial hair.

At first I scrolled right on by. I assumed there was a reference I didn’t get. A screenshot from a movie, perhaps? A picture of another writer who I didn’t recognize?

And then it hit me. By god, that’s Brandon Belt.

That’s Brandon Belt with an entirely different grooming regimen than we’ve come to expect.
