The jokes were covered by Mashable.[3] Fiers explained, ""It's a long season, we're in mid-September and just to give the guys a laugh, I'm kinda the guy they want to laugh at, so they dared me to do it or didn't think I'd go out and pitch with it. But I don't care… We were thinking about something funny to do and we were searching on Google for funny beards and that was one of them that came up."
