One of the players most dramatically affected by the Yankees\u2019 long-standing policy on beards and long hair believes they should keep the \u201ctradition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Johnny Damon, who cut his locks and shaved his facial hair after leaving the Red Sox for the Yankees in 2006,\u00a0said he learned about Hal Steinbrenner\u2019s Friday announcement about the reversal while on a Virgin cruise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just heard that the Yankees are not requiring people to cut the hair,\u00a0trim their beards- \u2014 you could always have your [mustache] \u2014 but I think we need to keep it how it was with respect to Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Derek Jeter and Mariano [Rivera],\u201d Damon said in an Instagram video. \u201c\u2026The Yankees are a tradition. Let\u2019s keep it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cut these lovely locks off many years ago because George Steinbrenner is such a great human being, such a great boss, that I wasn\u2019t even going to question it.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone, let\u2019s keep the policies the same, listen to your bosses, always bring your A-game, and let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n
While he was listing those franchise legends, Damon also noted that former teammate Jorge Posada \u201cshould be a Hall of Famer in my book.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hal Steinbrenner announced in a press conference alongside general manager Brian Cashman on Friday that the team would be amending the organization\u2019s time-honored policy instituted nearly five decades earlier by his late father.<\/p>\n
The younger Steinbrenner acknowledged the tradition was \u201coutdated\u201d and \u201csomewhat unreasonable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team now will allow players and uniformed personnel to grow \u201cwell-groomed\u201d facial hair, although the rule concerning no hair below the collar remains unchanged.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning was the most important thing to my father,\u201d Steinbrenner said. \u201cIf somebody came and told him that they were very sure this could affect us getting the players we want to get \u2026 If something like this would detract from that or lessen our chances, I don\u2019t know, I think he might be a little more apt to do the change that I did than people think because it was about winning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
