By now you’ve surely heard Philadelphia’s version of Grizzly Adams, soon-to-be-overpaid-free-agent-signing Jayson Werth, has shaved the beard of Jesus proportions grown while meditating in the Burmese Myanmarese mountains with J. Peterman after the Phillies’ World Series loss to the New York Yankees.

In a turn of events that set the hearts aflutter of teenage girls and sportswriters alike, Werth unveiled his new-old look at batting practice Tuesday morning before the Phillies played Ed Wade’s Astros.

Behold, Jayson Werth, as he basically looked before!

And that, friends, is the essence of Jay-Dub, The Most Interesting Man in Baseball.
