The Reds were always far weirder for reasons that became obvious. This is a step in the right direction and I hope the boys test it.

If the right guy crosses the line it'll open things up for everyone else.

I was just thinking about the weirdos who are going to be mad about this.

I think you and I both got into it with someone last fall who was like, “yes, it’s outdated, but if you’re not a Yankee fan, why do you care?” and…whew lol

So weird to think people should have bodily autonomy if I don’t root for that specific laundry, amirite!?!

I feel like it’s on the Yankees to not acquire someone who wears their hair in a way they don’t like. Or to negotiate it in their contract. Just issuing stupid rules makes you sound like you work for the Trump administration.

I'm pretty sure it was impacting their ability to sign players, so that was enough to make them finally drop it.

I forgot the NYY rules were still a thing in 2025. Wait, what am I saying? Things feel like 1925 now…🙄.

It took away Oscar Gamble’s iconic Afro. It was always dumb.
