A's Swisher cuts hair behind dugout for cancer
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Steve Swisher lived millions of fathers' dreams Saturday night when he chopped off his son's unruly long hair -- and Nick Swisher let it happen for charity.
 Swisher
The Oakland Athletics outfielder had his locks snipped behind home plate about 45 minutes before a game against the San Francisco Giants. His father, a former big league catcher, wielded the scissors, removing three large ponytails made from the hair that fell to Swisher's shoulders while thousands of fans cheered.
Swisher's hair will be used to create a wig for cancer patients by a women's cancer research fund. Swisher's grandmother, Betty, died of brain cancer in 2005.

Former Gateman Swisher always been life of the party
If Nick Swisher had come to the Boston Red Sox instead of Johnny Damon, there probably wouldn't have been much of a perceived difference ? at least in terms of "personality."
Of course, we're talking about the 2004 Johnny. The one everyone east of Connecticut loved for his Jesus-like hair-do, his eccentricity and his proclamation that he was an "idiot."

Swisher adds swagger to the anemic Sox
January 26, 2008
BY JOHN MUTKA Post-Tribune senior correspondent
When White Sox critics analyze this team's free-fall they invariably rail about relief that was harder to swallow than your mother's favorite home remedy.
Go ahead and blame it on the bullpen, but a 90-loss season was more complex than to pin the tail on that donkey.
Try this shortcoming for size: The Sox scored 200 fewer runs than in 2006, dead-last in the American League. Amy Vanderbilt would have been a better table-setter than brittle Scott Podsednik and Darrin Erstad, who no longer figure into the equation.
