Having A Beard Will No Longer Keep You From Playing For The Yankees
By Cody McClure
There has been a shocking development today in the world of baseball.
The New York Yankees are now allowing players to have beards.
For years the Yankees have had a strict policy that players must remain “clean shaved.”
“In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees spanning several eras to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy,” said managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner.
“…Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward.”
What has this world come to?
The Yankees allowing beards. Something I never thought I’d see.
