Swisher to donate hair

[hudsonharden]

Nick Swisher is growing his hair out to cut it and donate it to "Pantene Beautiful Lengths," which makes wigs for women who have undergone cancer treatment. While it is a great cause, I have to confess I'll be sad when it's gone, I was starting to like Nick's new tresses.

I give a lot of credit to Swisher. My mom had to get a wig do to her cancer (she is alright now :) )
I want to do that when I grow up.

Swisher is a cool guy. Met him last week at a game here in Tucson. He also signed some stuff for me and chatted for a bit. I'll tell you one thing- he has TONS of energy! :laugh

Swisher got his hair cut before tonight's game.
