What will become of Sox beards?

BOSTON -- The beards on the 2013 champion Boston Red Sox are already legendary. The question is: What happens with the World Series whiskers now?

The players have grown to love them just as much as the fans have, but there's debate as to whether the champs will keep the beards or shave them for charity.

Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said prior to Game 6 Wednesday at Fenway Park that he's not shaving his, adding that with the exception of a few players who are getting married this offseason, the guys want to keep them. Another bearded Red Sox player felt strongly about shaving for charity. According to one team official, there has been some internal debate about the beards.

There's one thing you can bet on: The beards will be out in force for Saturday's rolling rally.
