Illinois barber shaves stellar Jake Arrieta likeness on client’s head
Fans are inspired to do some crazy and amazing things when you’re having the kind of season Jake Arrieta and the Chicago Cubs are producing.
One of the best this fall comes from a talented barber in Moline, Ill., and his client, who both happen to be Cubs fans. Miguel Rosas shaved a remarkable likeness of Arrieta into the back of his customer’s head on Wednesday, hours before Chicago beat Pittsburgh in a wild-card game that Arrieta dominated.

Even Arrieta was impressed and commented about Rosas’ work on Twitter.
This is not the sort of thing everyone is willing to do, but it’s a good bet Rosas could see a significant upswing in business if the Cubs are able to make a run to the World Series. They play St. Louis in Game 1 of a National League Division Series on Friday (6:45 p.m. ET).

Rosas has operated The New Style Barbershop in Moline since 2007. You can see more of his work here.
