Magglio Ordonez Loses the Long Hair

The old legend about Samson said he'd lose his strength if he cut off his hair.  Magglio Ordonez, however, seems to have already lost his extra-base strength.  So I guess he figured he might as well get a haircut. 

Ladies and gentleman, courtesy of FOX Sports Detroit's Twitter account, the new, clean-cut Maggs:

Here's more from Jason Beck.

Given how hot it is today, if I was carrying around those kinds of locks, I'd shear 'em off too.  But I salute Maggs on this one.  This is what we men do in trying times, when a change is necessary to shake things up.  Sometimes, we grow beards.  If we're younger, maybe we grow mohawks or shave our heads.  Magglio went for a cleaner, more mature look. 

I just hope metro Detroit landfills don't fill up too fast with those long, curly Maggs wigs.  That could cause a tangle.

UPDATE: Maggs's wife made the call on the haircut, according to MLive.com's Steve Kornacki.  And here's a funny exchange from the clubhouse:

Ordonez caused quite a stir walking into the clubhouse, and a teammate shouted, "He looks like (Armando) Galarraga!"

Asked about that, Galarraga smiled and said, "They are trying to say he looks good."

From the Freep:

"I’m going to put it on eBay and give the money to a charity for kids," Ordoñez said.

How exactly would one... contain the Magglio hair?

Do you put the clippings in a glass box? A jar?

Try to scatter them within a photo frame? Maybe sprinkle them around a #30 jersey?

That just sounds creepy

Oh, we'll Seay to it that they continue

Sometimes though, one Seay’s the need for more puns, and I saw that need.

Yes! awesome

I said in my June 17 piece, it might be time to cut the “power” locks. I thought that was an old picture of him above. He DOES look younger. Hopefully he hits like his younger self, too.

GO MAGGS and GO TAGS!

OMG, I can't believe it!
