The barber saw the 14-time All-Star shaving his legs at Yankee Stadium, USA Today's Ted Berg reportedLopez decided to lend the slugger a hand.

"I didn't want him to cut himself," Lopez told Berg in Spanish. "'Don't worry about it,' I said. 'I'll do it for you.' He shaves his arms and legs."

So there's that.

Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran and starting pitcher CC Sabathia will appear on Lopez's show, as will Knicks stars Iman Shumpert and Amar'e Stoudemire.
