Welcome to the Mustache Round

The heat is on. Rondell White's 1991 card dominated the first set of the Rookie Card Playoffs with his seductive eyes and bent knee - a 5-vote victory over runner-up Nomar Garciaparra and his innocent, pubescant face.

Third-place went to the scrappy Chipper Jones while fourth-place was held down by an already-ornery Barry Bonds. Mike Mussina, who recieved only 6 tallies, placed dead last.

Welcome To Round One

Welcome to Round One of the Rookie Card Playoffs, hosted by yours truly and Ian from SOX & Dawgs.

Check out these current players' rookie cards and pick your favorite - which could be based on absolutely anything. Perhaps the presence of a mustache. The top vote-getter will advance to Round Two and so on, until there is only one Rookie Card Champion of the World.

There will be 8 brackets of 5 in Round One - voting for this set ends Wednesday.
