Mason primps hair for major-league spring camp

We here at your beloved Biscuits blog, Riverwalk Talk, always try to bring you the most germane, the most pressing, the most relevant things about the Biscuits, their former players, the Rays, yada, yada, yada.

Well, the Rays have their first spring workout Thursday and Chris Mason, who helped the Biscuits win the Southern League title last year, will be in major-league camp for the first time.

Before even donning his spring Tampa Bay uniform, Mason has a major decision to make. Which bottle of hair dye will he hit?

The right-handed pitcher sported blond, blue and jet-black hair at various points last year and even planned to go pink once, only to have that hue nixed by the Rays. His choice for this week's spring debut: a shaved head.

"I figured I'd start this season how I ended last year," Mason said. "We'll see what happens. I can't wait until we start. It should be fun."
