San Francisco, CA. -- Fresno, Calif., has its charms, but Juan Perez is performing as if he has no intention of returning to the home of the Giants' Triple-A affiliate.

Ladies, a new trend has arrived that promises to keep you safe from perverts when you're out and about. They're called hairy stockings. Imagine regular stockings loaded with dark, long hair. Slip them on and in seconds you have the legs of a very hairy man.
