Carlos Beltran is completely bald. He has a shaved head. With that in mind, Beltran could have imagined the fans’ confusion when he took his hat off on Aug. 28 to reveal a full head of “hair.”

It clearly wasn’t hair, as Beltran was rocking the Carlos Boozer painted-on look. Apparently, Beltran didn’t paint his head for the betterment of his own appearance, but instead, he did it to troll teammate Rougned Odor.

Odor, of course, punched Jose Bautista in the face. It’s something to consider when you make fun of someone’s receding hairline. Will this person punch me in the face? That is a legitimate question one should ask before making fun of a person’s impending baldness.

Yet, that didn’t stop Beltran.

Via The New York Times:

Beltran, though, is not above a joke to keep things loose. Players love to kid Odor — the second baseman with 31 home runs and a memorable punch to Jose Bautista’s jaw — about his prematurely thinning hair. Beltran offered a solution one day, covering his own bald head with eye black.

I’m not sure exactly how Beltran making himself look ridiculous was supposed to troll Odor, but I have to respect the effort.
