New York Yenkis has started this season by changing its nearly 50 -year -old facial child policy to “well prepared”, according to the owner Hal Steinbrener, many people in the world of baseball were caught .
Gliber Torres, who signed with Detroit Tigers in Offsen after seven sessions with Yankiz, told reporters on Friday that he was surprised by the decision, but understood that many players with the team still want to grow their facial hair. More than the permission given earlier.
“I think it was the time for this,” said Aaron Boon, manager of Yankis.
Yenkis’ policy was since the 1970s, when George Steinbrener and former manager Billy Martin established the “Cleanliness Calculation” policy, which refused beard, long hair and sideburn. Mustache was allowed.
“I have anything against long hair,” to The New York Times in 1976. “But I am trying to create a certain meaning and a sense of discipline in the ball club because I think discipline is important in an athlete.
“As long as they do this, they can joke about it. If they do not do this, we will try to find a way to adjust them elsewhere. I want to develop pride in the form of Yanki among the players. If we can get them to feel like this and think in this way, okay. If they cannot, we will get rid of them. ,
For the players, it was a policy that they either followed, tested (ask Don Mattingly) or this became a reason that they did not want to go to New York. When Brian Wilson was a free agent in 2013, his representatives told General Manager Brian Cashman that he was not killing his long beard to join Yanki.
Wilson signed with Los Angeles Dojers instead.
When Pitcher David Price Tampa Bay was coming to the end of his tenure with rays, Yenkis was a team that was rumored to be interested. When asked if his beard was asked about shaving, he was dealt with in New York, he replied, “I will not stay there for a very long time.” I will not sign a long -term deal there. Those rules, this old school is baseball. I was born in ’85. This is not for me. There is nothing that I want to be part. ,
This type of response from the players would be interested in achieving Yenkis, playing a role in changing the direction of Hail Steinbrener’s long team.
“Jeet was the most important thing for my father and again, I think if someone came and told him that they were very sure that it could get us the players we want to get-we all we all Each offsen is trying to do the best position we are trying to get a player, ”Hail Steinbrener told reporters on Friday.
“If something like this will be separated from it, then reduce our opportunities, I do not know, I think it can be a little more suitable to make the change that I did than people because it is about winning Was in. “
But many players have followed the policy, and the previous signature disappeared for the showing “well -prepared”, the cleaner seems to have become yenki of those players.
There are some players who let their hair grow elsewhere, but when they reached New York, they complied with Yenkis’ policy.
