Brian Wilson's Beard and the Top 5 Pieces of San Francisco Giants Flair

The San Francisco Giants are a team full of characters led by the one-of-a-kind closer Brian Wilson.

In the shadow of Wilson's beard, Giants players are free to rock some pretty unusual styles without drawing much attention. 

Let's set aside offensive woes and injury reports and take a look at the top five flair items rocked by Giants players.

5. Jeff Keppinger and Cody Ross Reppin' High Socks

Joining the Giants on July 20th via a trade with the Houston Astros, it didn't take long for Keppinger to feel comfortable expressing himself.

He joined Cody Ross as Giants players who regularly rock their socks high.

4. Sergio Romo Has Substance and Style

I don't know what's cooler, Sergio Romo's chops and 'stache or his 1.67 ERA.

Romo, along with clean-faced lefty Javier Lopez, has locked down the eighth inning for the Giants this year. With hitters managing a pathetic .154 BAA, they must be distracted. 

3. Tim Lincecum Is Afraid of Scissors

Hair like that has gotten many a young man kicked out of the house—or at least threatened to be thrown out. Luckily for Tim, he's a two-time Cy Young Winner who doesn't have to answer to anyone.

Although, I think he owes dad just a bit for those pitching lessons.

2. Brian Wilson Has Too Much Awesome on His Feet

Brian Wilson has more flair than entire teams—the tattoos, the unbuttoned  jersey, and those orange cleats.

Perhaps the most famous piece of footwear in the MLB since Curt Schilling's bloody sock, these kicks are partially blacked out with a sharpie by Wilson himself to avoid fines. 

1. The Beard

Was there any question?

Wilson's beard has been the subject of commercials by both ESPN and Giants advertising. "Fear the Beard" t-shirts and fake beards are regular sights at Giants games both home and away. The beard has become an entity in itself, and it takes a character like Wilson to be able to control it.

Well, there you go. Did I miss anything? Let me know in the comments.
