If you watched American League baseball during the 2011-12 seasons, odds are you have some recollection of Eric Thames. If not, Thames was an outfielder who played with the Blue Jays and Mariners, and who was acquired at various points by the Orioles and Astros. He was known best for his stylish facial hair.

Thames has spent the last three seasons in Korea, where he's dominated while playing with the NC Dinos.
