“In recent weeks, I have spoken to a large number of old and current Yankees – covering several eras – to arouse their perspectives on our longtime hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their serious and varied comments “Said Steinbrenner in the press release.

“These most recent conversations are an extension of the internal dialogue in progress which dates back several years. In the end, the final decision rests with me, and after a great consideration, we will modify our expectations to allow our players and our Uniform employees to have well -designed parts The beard advancing.

Face hair policy was established in the 1970s and was part of the team manual for players in the future.

“All players, coaches and male leaders are prohibited from displaying facial hair other than mustaches [except for religious reasons]And the hair of the scalp cannot be cultivated under the collar “The manual of the team read via mlb.com.” Long strokes and sheep chops are not specifically prohibited. “”

Yankees have acquired closer stars Devin Williams from Milwaukee Brewers during the offseason.

The new Yankees star initially presented itself in spring training with its still intact beard, before shaving it later.

Williams presenting himself with the beard stimulated talks on social media if longtime policy should change.

The Yankees have acquired many players who had to cut their long hair or shave their beards by joining the team.

The launcher Ace Gerrit Cole had long hair and a beard with the Houston astros, but he razed by signing with the Yankees to join politics.

Carlos Rodon, Alex Verdugo, Joey Gallo, Josh Donaldson, Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi and Paul Goldschmidt are among the many players who have shaved their faces by joining the team.

Whatever the way the Yankees play this coming season, they will certainly be different on the field.
