Joey DeMichele - 2013-14 Sydney Blue Sox

DeMichele is an American import from the Chicago White Sox organisation. He played for the Winston-Salem Dash in the high A Carolina League in 2013, and has joined the Sydney Blue Sox for the 2013-14 ABL season.

Following on from Jesse Barron's full beard effort posted last Friday, I've gone with a bit of a "Beard Week" theme this week, featuring the most "bearded" players from the other teams. With the loss of Matthew Williams to the Bite in the off season, DeMichele came across as the most "bearded" player for the Blue Sox when I photographed the team.
