Take back the beard to the bronx.
Yankees who handled the general partner Hal Steinbrenner declared “well -groomed beard” would be allowed to explain an end to the franchise’s long -standing policy that allowed mustaches but not beard or steadfast side bars.
“In recent weeks I have talked to a large number of past and current Yankees – which extends over several eras – to get their perspectives on our long -standing facial hair and maintenance policy, and I appreciate their serious and varied feedback,” said Steinbrenner Friday Morning in a statement. “These latest calls are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that goes back several years. In the end, the final decision is based on me, and after great consideration, we will change our expectations to allow our players and uniformed staff to have well -groomed beard to move forward .
Player’s appearance includes the length of their husband – saying “hair cannot touch the uniform collar” – and came to 1976. When George Steinbrenner died in 2010, his daughter and Yankee’s chief partner, Jennifer, realized the team’s rule.
A generation shift that came too late for notorious raggy stars such as Johnny Damon and Randy Johnson come into force immediately.
Ironic timing or part of a plan that Steinbrenner claimed, there is at least one current Yankees player who appreciates Razor Relief. New closer to Devin Williams reported to Tampa with the git look he has had for several years. When the subject of facial hair politics came up, Williams Coy was just saying “we will see” when he was pressed on his plans to change his appearance.
