Origin

After the game, Twitter users were quick to comment on the oddity of Fiers' beard. User RMaq28[1] joked that the beard was a result of Fiers telling a barber he wanted to "look like a G" (shown below, left), gaining over 1,800 retweets and 8,500 likes (shown below, left). User @FransiscoFF07[2] tweeted that the beard looked like Fiers' cat's tail, gaining over 240 retweets and 1,500 likes (shown below, right).


Other popular jokes about the beard include a post by @AustinHuff that gained over 60 retweets and 610 likes (shown below, left) and a post by the official A's NBC account that gained over 250 retweets and 1,200 likes (shown below, right). 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."
