Every Mississippi State baseball game at Dudy Noble Field has a beloved tradition called "Little Dude of the Game." Between innings, a young fan gets their moment in the spotlight on the big screen in right field. The interview starts with easy questions—how old are you, where are you from—before the big one: "Who's your favorite Mississippi State player?"

Lately, the answer has been a chorus of "Noah Sullivan!" And it's not just because he's a standout on the field. Sullivan, now in his second season as the Bulldogs' designated hitter and a former midweek starting pitcher, usually bats third or fourth in the lineup. But what really makes him a fan favorite is his curly handlebar mustache—a throwback that has fans comparing him to Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers.

That mustache has become a signature look, turning Sullivan into a cult hero in Starkville. Kids and adults alike can't get enough of it, and it's added a fun, old-school vibe to the Diamond Dawgs' dugout. Whether he's crushing a double or just flashing that famous 'stache, Noah "Muttonchops" Sullivan has become the face of a new era of Mississippi State baseball—one with plenty of style to match the substance.
