TORONTO — Every time fans with pasted-on moustaches are shown on the Rogers Centre Jumbotron, all the Toronto Blue Jays start elbowing Davis Schneider, telling him to look.
The disguises are a loving tribute to the 24-year-old Schneider, who has rocked the distinctive facial hair since the film"Top Gun: Maverick" came out in May 2022. But when Schneider debuted for Toronto with a splash on Aug. 4, hitting a home run in his first-ever Major League at bat, Blue Jays fans started wearing their own moustaches in his honour.
That hot start would be impossible to maintain, but Schneider is still hitting .297 for the Blue Jays with a total of eight homers, 20 RBIs and an impressive .423 OBP. "It makes me play a little bit more relaxed just because you're seeing all these fans, cheering my name and everything like that, it's really cool to see when they're on the Jumbotron."
Although he's impressed with Davis Schneider's hot start, Blue Jays manager John Schneider — no relation — said that the young player is still learning.
