As an April Fools’ prank, Baseball-Reference.com is offering their Tonsorial Consulting Service for free. We’ll let them explain.

This bespoke service starts at $1,000/hour, but as a special introduction we have made a limited package available on Baseball-Reference.com. For today only, our online tonsorial tools will appear below the player images on Baseball-Reference.com allowing you, our hirsute clientele, to try a tiny sample from our follicular library for free. So give “The Gamble”, “The Rollie”, or “The Wilson” a try today, and if you like what you see, our team of Brooklyn-based salespeople will be visiting your clubhouse soon to sign you up for the full TCS®.

In order to fully understand the service, I decided to take it for a test spin. I did this for you, the people, and I was not disappointed.

That’s more like it. The feature really gives Alex Rodriguez the 1920s villain look for this season. It’s a look he ought to embrace. The fun doesn’t stop there. You can also add afros and beards to any player listed on the site.

Is it a waste of time? Most certainly. Does it still receive our full professional endorsement? It does!
