Everyone on the Red Sox can recognize Ryan Brasier without his beard ... except one player

Right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier has been one of the stories of the postseason for the Red Sox.

It had been five years since Brasier last appeared in the Major Leagues with the Angels in 2013, but the Red Sox gave him a Minor League contract during Spring Training after he had spent 2017 playing in Japan with the Hiroshima Carp. The 31-year-old has since established himself as one of the most reliable arms in the Red Sox bullpen, especially down the stretch as the stakes have increased.

While Brasier fits in quite nicely on the roster with his ability on the mound, he also fits in the Red Sox bullpen with his beard.

Not many of the Red Sox players had known Brasier before he arrived this Spring Training. So we wondered: Could his teammates recognize a photo of him from nearly a decade ago, sans beard?

It turned out that most of his fellow Red Sox could tell it was him -- except for one.
