Among the trophy, the brisket and beer, and the parade soon coming to D.C., the Nationals winning the World Series means something special for one fan: his chin skin will see the light of day for the first time in more than seven years.

And thanks to other fans, B.J. Treuting will be back in the District to shave off all nine inches of hair. Better to known to many as “Bearded Natitude,” Treuting proclaimed back in 2012 that he wouldn’t shave his facial hair until the Nats were champs. He thought they were going to win the World Series that year. They didn’t, and he’s been rocking a gnarled beard ever since. (He trims the mustache hair so he can eat, but that’s it.)

Treuting, who previously lived in Northern Virginia, moved to Louisiana this July, and watched most of the Nats’ come-from-behind postseason from afar. (He did make it to D.C. to watch the team in the World Series.)

As soon as the team won on Wednesday night, he says, he started getting messages from friends: Have you shaved yet? When are you shaving?

“It was always the plan to shave on parade day,” Treuting says, though he kept thinking, “it’s gonna be really sad if I’m not in D.C.”

His fellow Nats devotees wanted to get him back to the District for the big shave as well. “They were like, ‘Dude, we’ll buy your ticket’ and then I told them how much it is and they were like, ‘Let’s do a fundraiser.'”

Starting on Twitter, Treuting put out the call on social media for people to contribute, pledging that any additional funds raised would go directly to the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy. Within two and a half hours, he had the money he needed to buy his tickets and already had hundreds more dollars to donate.

As of around noon on Friday, Treuting has more than $1,000 ready to donate to the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy, with a plan to keep the crowdfunding page open all weekend.

That’s not the only donation that Treuting is working with. After finding him on Twitter, shaving company Gillette has already sent him free goodies to assist in the shaving process. (Treuting says he’s also going to need “some new face lotion with some very high SPF.”)

“People for some reason want to watch it,” he says. “They want to see what my face looks like.” So he and fan group The Half Street Irregulars are meeting up after the victory parade at around 6:30 p.m. at The Salt Line, the seafood spot right near Nationals Park that includes first baseman Ryan Zimmerman among its investors.

“My mom is gonna get the first swipe at the beard, then I’m gonna get a swipe at it, and the rest is history I guess,” he says. “I’m gonna leave it to the professionals.”

The professional he’s talking about is Chris Charron—the brother of former Nats player Ian Desmond—who works at Hell’s Bottom and still cuts some team members’ hair.

“I’m looking forward to all the fun and definitely being able to eat food normally,” says Treuting. “I love Ben’s Chili Bowl half smoke all the way and I can pretty much only eat it with a fork and knife, which takes away from it completely. And ice cream, I haven’t been able to just fully go after it.”

Treuting flies into D.C. on Friday night: “I’m walking off the plane ready to jump in any shenanigans that are possible.”
