"A year ago, Rory hopped into the barber's chair demanding a mullet," his bio states. "His mother, was shocked, but knew her only response was to say 'yes.' On that day, Rory's mullet was born. You can find his mullet rounding 3rd base with all that shiny 'cheddar' blowing in the wind. When his mullet is not on the field, it's out doing farm chores with his cows."
Rory's photoshoot for the competition features him wearing a Kyle Schwarber Phillies jersey. Rory proudly dons the mullet when he's playing baseball, and he's typically found wearing one type of Philadelphia sports jersey or another.
