Two items of business as the day closes:
First -- the winner of this year's first annual RandBall Pavano Mustache Contest is ... WOODSTACHE. The man with the ample facial hair took down Clayton, who was entered by his friend. We will contact Woodstache post-haste and ask him to claim a prize and maybe say a few words.
Second -- Hunt Down aficionado Stu notes that as a follow-up to some recent tracking, former Miss USA -- and former special lady friend of three-time batting champ Joe Mauer -- Chelsea Cooley (Now Chelsea Cooley Altman) will appear tonight on NBC's "Minute to Win It."
We're guessing this might be the last time Woodstache and a former Miss USA are pictured together. But you never know.
