TAMPA – The Boss must be spinning in his grave.

Hal Steinbrenner announced Friday morning that the Yankees are getting rid of their long-standing facial hair policy, moving to allow “well-groomed beards moving forward.”

Like the old saying, If you can't play good, at least look good.

“I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization.”

LOL

Just keep the facial fuzz neat and trimmed.

Didn’t Munson have a mustache?

Well played. Now I want a calzone for lunch.

Many Freepers will vigorously disagree with me but I dislike facial hair...strongly dislike it. The more facial hair I see on a guy the less likely I am to respect him.

Same with tattoos.

OK,Freepers...have at it!

But how will any team win the playoffs? It’s bad luck to shave.

Many Yankees have had mustaches but no beards.

Naaah, this is the Yankees. Why look for sensible reactions to anything?

I've read the playbook, I don't need your respect.

I completely agree. And I really hate seeing bearded & tattooed law enforcement.
