Shane Victorino has already won the MVP — Most Valuable Pedi-wear (Photo)



When you're representing the American League, what could possibly be more American than red, white and blue baseball cleats with stars, stripes and eagles emblazoned on the side? 



While Shane Victorino's shoes certainly are awesome, Ken Rosenthal wondered why the Flyin' Hawaiian wasn't already in his flashy shoes.

Red Sox website helps fans distinguish players by beard and add hair to their own faces (VIDEO)

The momentum building from the Red Sox players' beards this season has reached such a fever pitch in Boston that the team's website is featuring a template where fans can distinguish the players apart with a chart showing silhouettes of each bearded player's different facial hairstyle.

Similar to one of those ubiquitous barber shop posters, this chart at Redsox.com comes with the individual player's different beard style and a feature that allows you to put your own photo into one of the assorted selection of looks.  Each fashion comes with nickname so one day you can look like burly Mike Napoli with "The Siesta"  or a sleeker Shane Victorino sporting a "Pineapple" the next or even "The Sick Flow" of Dustin Pedroia anytime — all without shunning a razor for six months or picking remnants of lunch off your face before bedtime every night.



The best part for Sawx fans — knowing their Yankee counterparts can only look at their own clean-shaven team and never how it would feel to look like Derek Jeter in a Van Dyke.

Below,  MLB Network broadcasters discuss all the different Red Sox players' beards and their  beard template that is featured at #GETBEARD.

Victorino's backwards catch into stands sets off series of comical events (VIDEO)

Shane Victorino made a leaping catch into the stands on Wednesday night, setting off a series of comical events which included a spilled beer and and cell phone knocked onto the field.



The Flyin' Hawaiian soared into the stands to make the sensational catch — but it wasn't the right fielder who created all of the mayhem.  If you look closely at the overexcited man in the Red Sox jersey — he's the guy who knocks a beer all over one woman causing another fan's phone goes flying onto the field.

Victorino followed it up by graciously gathering up the pieces of the cell phone and handing it back to the woman.

An athlete and a gentleman.
