At Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club®, we strive to serve a higher class of man. And if, by chance, a lower class of man patronizes our establishment, we can’t help but feel we’ve lifted their status several dozen notches by providing him with pampering fit for a king (not to mention a dazzling haircut and relaxing straight razor shave!).
And because we strongly believe in providing role models for all of us to emulate on our journey to the next upper deck of gent-tasticness, below are our next three entries in the Ideal Kennedy’s Men Hall of Fame. This time around, let’s focus on three Good Sports.
BABE RUTH
Who: American baseball legend
Why: No, the Babe wasn’t exactly a top hat and white tie guy, but he had class where it counted – on the inside. A sick kid asked him to hit a home run and the Babe pointed to where the ball was going to go. It went there. He also held the single-season home run record for 39 years – doing it with fewer games and no steroid shakes – and his “Curse of the Bambino” was powerful enough to haunt the Red Sox for 86 years, because the Fenway crew dared to trade him to the Yanks. Not only that, he could take care of a plateful of hot dogs and a keg of beer like nobody’s business – to the point where it sent him to the hospital with the World’s Most Famous Bellyache before a game!
Fun Fact: Japanese troops during World War II would insult American soldiers by yelling, “To hell with Babe Ruth!”
JOE NAMATH
Who: “Broadway Joe,” first true football media star and one of the coolest guys ever to walk the planet.
Why: Because, when he was the New York Jets Quarterback, he loudly guaranteed a heckling fan he would win Super Bowl III even though no one gave his team a chance in hell – and the Jets went on to pull off one of the most amazing upsets in sports history. Because he was allowed to front up movies and TV shows when it was apparent to anyone who wasn’t deaf, dumb and blind that acting was NOT in Joe Willie’s wheelhouse. And most of all, because he wore women’s panty hose in a commercial - and was man enough to get away with it!
Fun Fact: Made President Nixon’s infamous enemies list – even though Namath had voted for Nixon twice.
MICHAEL JORDAN
Who: The Greatest Basketball Player Ever. Ever. It says so on his NBA official bio.
Why: Because he’s the Greatest Basketball Player. Ever. Because he had such an endearing sense of style that we, a barber club, would give this award to a man who shaves his head. Because he played b-ball with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and because putting his name on a pair of Nike sneakers made them the most long-running popular athletic shoe ever. Ever. Because he was so damn good we can forgive him for the Wizards and for actually interrupting an amazing career to try and play…baseball.
Fun Fact: During his brief minor league baseball career, Jordan batted .202 and committed 11 errors.

About the Author
Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club® is a Franchise Concept for discerning gentlemen who are looking for an experience that is the polar opposite of your everyday haircut from the “big chains.” Like most gentlemen, the founders felt out of place at the salons frequented by their wives and the local strip-mall walk-in “chop shops,” so they decided to create a place where they would ENJOY getting the grooming services they need . . . rather than dreading it. While most hair salons cater to women and children, Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club® caters to discerning gentlemen looking for a fine grooming experience with the old-world charm of your father’s barbershop. Offering the finest in haircuts for men, the lost art of straight-razor shaves, and a modern selection of grooming products, Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club® is sure to be your favorite sanctuary to relax and enjoy The Best Haircut and Straight-Razor Shave You’ve Ever Had, or it’s Free™!
