This, to me, is enough reason to vote for Evan Longoria to make the All-Star Team:

According to the New York Yankees Web site, Jason Giambi has picked up the endorsement of the American Mustache Institute in his "campaign" to be the final player selected to the American League All-Star team. The mustache institute, of course, is concerned with "protecting the rights of, and fighting discrimination against, mustached Americans by promoting the growth, care, and culture of the mustache."

Peter Abraham, on his LoHud Yankees Blog, has the full text of a Yankees press release urging fans to "Support the 'Stache." Here's an excerpt:

"It doesn't take a mathematician to figure out that Jason Giambi's hitting prowess plus a fashionable mustache, equals a bona fide All-Star," said Aaron Perlut, Executive Director of The American Mustache Institute. "Giambi's significant first-half production as well as his powerful lip fur - indicating great intellect and good looks - make two very compelling reasons for his place on the American League All-Star roster."

Giambi is competing in fan balloting for the final spot on the A.L. All-Star team against Tampa Bay's Longoria, Chicago's Jermaine Dye, Kansas City's Jose Guillen and Baltimore's Brian Roberts. Remember, please: Vote for Longoria.
