He finished his 18-year MLB career with a .296 batting average, 2,182 hits, 162 home runs, 11 consecutive Gold Gloves, a share of an NL MVP but maybe more impressively -- one legendary mustache.
With 1,575 votes, Top-seeded Keith Hernandez earned the right to call that lady Kryptonite above his lip Newsday.com's Greatest New York Sports mustache. With 83.2 percent of the vote, he breezes past No. 2 seed Don Mattingly in the championship round.
For a mustache that's been covered with celebratory champagne before, winning championships is "old 'stache" for Hernandez. The 53-year-old won a World Series with the Cardinals in 1982 and then again with the Mets in 1986.
Credit metsblog.com with catapulting Keith Hernandez to the inaugural title. Of course, it's not without justice. Hernandez rode his mustache to a cameo on "Seinfeld." Not too many other mustachioed folks could pull that one off.
An understated mustache, it creates a mood that doesn't have a "Where's the party?" type of vibe, but rather "I'm going to let the party come to me" feel. Some people say that the 'stache is responsible for Hernandez's last five Gold Gloves and was a centerpiece for the '86 Mets world championship.

Plus, as broadcast on SNY, we explained to Keith that his moustache has many intimate social uses. He refused to go there, which may explain his friendships with Nieman and Staub.
Keith? Moustache? Mmmmmmm....can he visit my "crib"? It's full of cars and all, but I promise to be bland, speak in cliches, and semi-smile.
you gotta be kidding me, I have a better 'stache on my weebos. Like KH the 'stache is OVERRATED.
This has got to be the biggest waste of internet bandwidth I have ever seen.
Well, either this or anything that Jim Baumbauch writes. It's a toss up.

He is too stuck in the 80's with his commentary. His mustache is cute though.
This is the lead story on the web-site?
