As his first at-bat resulted in him getting on base and eventually scoring from said base, I see no reason to believe there was something superstitious about Alex Bregman's decision to shave mid-game. Oddly enough, that exactly why I'm on board with it being the right move. Some people just aren't meant to be mustache guys. I say the following as a person that's never been able to suppress the self-consciousness required to get the past the awkward stage in which people wonder aloud in a joking-but-not-entirely fashion whether or not they should feel comfortable leaving their children around you unsupervised. Confidence is key in both carrying a new look and swinging a big stick. Perhaps the Astros' third baseman just figured he couldn't have one without the other. Every man has contemplated compromising weeks of negligent grooming to relieve that all too familiar itch, but there was not nearly enough hair on the face of the Astros' third baseman for external discomfort to be an issue. Internal discomfort, however, is a whole different story which I believe can explain the case of Alex Bregman's missing mustache.
