See that up there? See that disgusting, horrifying pile of pubes behind glass? That’s Shane Victorino’s beard hair, lovingly fashioned into a ball and mounted for all time. And you can own it. Yep, a custom-mounted quantity of Red Sox beard hair, auctioned off on eBay, with all proceeds going to Movember.

Bidding for SHANF’s chin scruff is already up to $465 at the time I am writing this. Hey, here’s David Ortiz’s face-growth. It’s up to $760. That’s American dollars. But we can all admit: a small price to pay for something that will last forever, quietly sitting there and still being a mound of hair long after you’re dead and in the ground. Unless you’re buying it to crack open and eat and smell and roll around in or whatever. Hey; no judging here. It’s for a good cause.
