Toronto Blue Jays sophomore lefty Gustavo Chacin is now in the cologne business.
It's stuff like this that makes the circus of professional sport worthwhile :)

Quote:When Chacin made his major league debut in September of 2004, radio hosts Landry and Gord Stellick from Fan 590 joked that the pitcher's name (pronounced "shah-SEEN") sounded like a cologne brand. For the next 18 months "Chacin Cologne" became a running gag on the radio station, as Landry and Stellick used it in skits and a phony Super Bowl ad.
Eventually the Jays caught on and hooked up with Markham-based Leslie Cosmetics, who helped turn the radio hosts' joke into a unisex fragrance headed to store shelves later this year.
