Your Mustache Champion
Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Yup, it's real, and it's spectacular. With November here, we figured there's no better way to celebrate this month of mustache growth than with the champion, Germany’s Karl-Heinz Hille. The German is featured in the 2014 Guinness World Records book for most wins at the World Beard and Mustache Championships, having won eight championships from 1999 to 2011 (look out, Bill Russell). In honor of Movember, Karl Heinz-Hille and whisker lovers everywhere, I compiled a few other memorable mustaches in the gallery above.

Red Sox infielder Dustin Pedroia credits a text from teammate Jacoby Ellsbury as the reason for playing last season with a badly injured thumb instead of having surgery.

Ken Griffey Jr. started an Instagram account and is already already poking fun at himself and his late '80s hair. As the keeper of the SI Vault, I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to post this 1988 gem of Griffey on a car phone while playing for the Class-A San Bernardino Spirit.
