    I mean his hair might have still been a distinct feature of his all told, but I don't particularly think that is the fuss here.
    You can spin your argument around just the same. Take the hair out, and it's not a distraction. Also, that's just not the way the NY media works so that's an irrelevant point. They will find controversy. The way people are fighting it is terrible to me, conflating all kinds of completely unrelated issues to make their point. I'm really indifferent to the rule, just don't care. Its irrelevant until people want to complain about it. To me, the Yankees have deemed short hair and shaven faces a part of their uniform.

    Saw a conversation on reddit:

    "This rule sucks, stinks of the old days"

    "My job has a uniform and grooming standards. It's normal."

    "So does mine but I don't play a kids game for money where people watch me play."

    "So you have to cut your hair and no one even has to see you..." LOL

      That burn hurts.

        I can't believe this forced me to Google "Clint Frazier hair."

              Yanks PR says they kept Clint Frazier's hair and plan to donate it an organization that creates wigs for children with cancer.


              Clint Frazier's hair has been donated to Locks of Love, according to Yankees PR.

                        I was wondering why I haven't seen Matt Yallof on MLB Network past few weeks. Found out he had a stroke last July.

                        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                          Wow I didn't realize this. I don't usually see a lot of him since he usually does stuff during the day time hours.

                          Sheesh, that's terrible news
