The New York Mets are one of the betting favorites to win the World Series.
That is particularly exciting as we near the end of MLB’s regular season, especially because the Mets have won the championship just twice since they first became a franchise in 1962.
There are a lot of reasons to root for the Mets this season, but manager Buck Showalter (who is legitimately hilarious) provided yet another over this past weekend.
As noted by MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, the 66-year-old manager hinted that he would “dye his hair” if his team is able to win the championship this season.
Buck Showalter just strongly indicated he will dye his hair if the Mets win the World Series.

Showalter, a veteran who has won American League Manager of the Year in three different decades, clearly knows how to get his team pumped up.
But as a fan, I’m all about this idea as well. In fact, in an effort to help, I’ve decided to provide some suggestions for what color Showalter should choose if the Mets do end up playing in the October Classic and winning it all.
