It could have been a good auction item, but Carlos Martinez’s silver braided hair extensions instead have been deposited in the trash can, Martinez revealed Monday evening.
Asked why he underwent the trim, Martinez, through translator Alexandra Noboa, admitted to a superstitious nature and said, “I want to win a game.”
The Cardinals’ ace when the season began is 0-3 with a 4.71 earned run average before his start Tuesday night here against the Milwaukee Brewers.
An uncommon number of Cardinals fans seemed to think the hair did not make the man and were calling for a change.
