New York Yankees starter Nestor Cortes is one of the more colorful players in the game -- his hesitation windup alone would qualify, but he's also capable of incredible heads-up plays, like one against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night when he threw out someone at first from behind home plate.

Perhaps Cortes' most distinctive feature is his mustache. In a world where the 'stache has taken a back seat to either a clean-shaven look or a full beard, Cortes proudly rocks the lip sweater like it's the 1970s. In fact, it's so much a part of his look that his new cleats are decorated to match.

Never change, Nestor.
