Nestor Cortes took the mound for the New York Yankees on Monday with some unique (and very appropriate) cleats.
The Yankees lefty went viral for his facial hair-themed cleats during a start the Philadelphia Phillies. Cortes, who is famous for his mustached look, had several images of mustaches on his cleats (creating a fitting Yankees-style black-on-white look).

It was Cortes’ first start of the season for the Bronx Bombers. He first made a name for himself last season, going 12-4 with a 2.44 ERA in 28 starts for the Yankees (good enough to earn his first career All-Star selection).
Cortes is already known for having a colorful style of play. Now those Tom Selleck-esque cleats are yet another extension of Cortes’ vibrant personality.
