As promised when we first announced the "The Monthly Mustache Shakedown" - we continue on week two of our first Shakedown series as we look for the "Best St. Louis Cardinals Reliever Mustache."

worrell86fleerIn week one, we looked at "The Mad Hungarian" Al Hrabosky, who not only has one of the greatest Cardinals mustaches of all time, but arguably one of the great sports lip curtains of all time.

This week, we look at former Cardinals reliever Todd Worrell. Worrell pitched in the bigs from 1985 - 1997 and built a sturdy career as a respected reliever and midget juggler. He pitched his first six seasons, of course, in St. Louis - often showing up to the park with only his zebra patterned g-string and bible. And his last five years in the show were with the Dodgers.

Throughout his ups (registering 256 career saves) and downs (having a middle name of "Roland"), Worrell's one constant, as you can see in this picture, was his textbook "Chevron" style cookie duster.

Indeed, in a recent interview with High Times magazine, Worrell credited his mustache saying it was the "only performance enhancer I ever needed during my career." Or at least, that's what we are reporting so you'll have to take our word for it.

So there it is: the second contestant of the "Best St. Louis Cardinals Relievers Mustaches", we trot out the prudently mouth-browed and ever so Christian Todd Worrell.

Have a suggestion for Contestant #3 of the "Best St. Louis Cardinals Reliever Mustache"?

We want to hear from you in the comments.

Week 1 - Al Hrabosky
Week 2 - Todd Worrell
Week 3 - Next Thursday (March 19, 2009)
Week 4 - The Thursday After That (March 26, 2009)

Great stache, but the mad hungarian's is better. I'm pretty sure his facial hair can be used as rope

Worrell has to lose points for his decision to shave his mustache after he left the Birds. Granted this is the best "Cardinals" mustache so its understood that we're judging him solely on his lip duster while in STL, but I can't ignore how he abandoned what got him to the big leagues. Hungo still
