That's right. The absolute best teams are mustachioed up the middle.
That's why the St. Louis Cardinals are SportsPickle's pick for 2009 World Series champions.
And the Cardinals get bonus points for manager Tony LaRussa.
He may not have a mustache himself. Which is disappointing. But the time he spends around law enforcement shows he has a healthy respect for the mustachioed.
This team is unbeatable.
