A couple years back I grew out a beard for "Manuary" and it happened to be the about the same time of the Super Bowl and it happened to be the same Super Bowl that my Chicago Bears were in. This meant one thing for me, a Ditka mustache. Ever since then I have had a love for the upper lip fuzz. These are the top Chicago mustaches.

He might have only been a Cub for one year, but his homeless looking fu manchu gave Johnson an unmistakable edge.
9. Fred McGriff

I just wanted to put this picture of him on here.
8. Ryne Sandberg

Seeing this Ricky O'Donnell-esque rat-stache gave me the idea for this post.
7. Fred Manrique and Kelly Paris
These two played a combined 89 games for the ChiSox, but their porn-staches made them a duo that Chicago is grateful for.
6. Rod Beck

Baseball player or truck driver? Both?
5. Rafael Palmeiro

Before the PED's and before the penis pills, Palmeiro rocked this stellar 'stache for the Cubs.
4. Jose Valentin

White Sox fans seemed to love this guy despite his career .321 OBP. It must have been his sick lip fur.
3. Goose Gossage

One of the greatest fu manch's in the history of sports.
2. William "The Refrigerator" Perry

The "Fridge" takes the mustachioed happy-go-lucky fat-man archetype to a whole new level.

Was there ever a doubt?

I still don't get why this wouldn't make your list zdubs... that's a pretty impressive 'stache
What .......No .....Billy Buckner
Ya Messed Up .............
Cuno Barragan
Where is Wannstedt on this list?? That man had one fine stache. Jordan? Phil Jackson? Just food for thought.
Good points on all, except...Putting Wannstedt on any list that isn't Top Ten Worst Chicago Coaches (next week?) is pretty much blasphemy (i don't know how to spell simple words without WORD).
