Rockies centerfielder Charlie Blackmon and his untamed beard became a cult hero of sorts in 2017. But it wasn’t just his wacky sense of humor or distinct look that fans loved. Blackmon won a batting title, a Silver Slugger award, finished fifth in NL MVP voting and drove in 104 RBI, setting a new MLB record for a leadoff hitter.
