The Yankees used to ban players from wearing beards.

[Deadeye Division]

GM Bob Howsam had a rule for the Cincinnati Reds – that they would be a clean-cut bunch, with no facial hair, no long hair and suit jackets for traveling from city to city. Sparky Anderson was the enforcer for those rules, and a true believer in them. Self-discipline, Sparky believed, led to better teamwork. Hall of Fame manager.

I think they still do. Mustaches only … and if they even allow beards at all, I am sure they’re limited but I trimmed goatees only.

Go back and notice the difference in Randy Johnson’s appearance between his days on the Yankees and his days on the Mariners and Diamondbacks.
