Yeah, Aaron Boone being interviewed during the game today took a very serious tone to talk about how Hal Steinbrenner "didn't take this decision lightly"

get over yourselves

Usually insanity like this is rooted in bigotry. Was there some historical event involving a Sikh who wanted to play ball? Maybe a Hasidim? Trying to understand where this came from.

also the reds had recently put in the same sort of policy and he thought it was a good idea

Fascinating. So culture wars nonsense. As a Cincinnati kid I am not at all surprised to hear of the Reds leading on that front.

george steinbrenner was a military veteran and he wanted his team to meet military grooming standards, it bugged him when players started growing out their hair and beards (it was the hippie era), as from the 30s to the late 60s, it was considered common sense to be clean shaven and keep hair short

Yeah, it's not like the Yankees are illegally introducing firearms into Mexico and giving them to drug cartels as Obama did in 2010 during Operation Fast & Furious.

HAL STEINBRENNER (pacing in a dimly-lit Yankees War Room, sleeves rolled up, arms folded): "and tell me... would this allow the so-called Chinstrap Beard as well."

AARON BOONE (on a conference call with Derek Jeter, Roger Maris' grandson, and Rudy Giuliani) "sir I'm afraid so"

STEINBRENNER: I took the liberty of asking the boys in the art department if they could show us Aaron Judge, with what they call... (flipping out the lights, wheeling out a 1960s slide projector) - a "Soul Patch"

(A veteran Yankees scout runs from the room, a dry-heave coming from his throat)
