Growing Everything But The Payroll: The Official 2025 New York Yankees Season Thread

[Remote]

Gerrit Cole probably thrilled

So just facial hair and it has to be “well-groomed”…whatever that means.

Still no long wrestler hair / braids / locs though.

I doubt they’ll be pushback if a player came in looking like Jr Gong

 

[Grifter]

About damn time.

Yankees should be your religion, not roster far eye

I knew it was time to change the policy when that bum Dennis Santana went to the Pirates, grew a beard, and suddenly became unhittable

In his feelings

Didi needs to be on the roster just to get him his 1000th hit

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

“Everything growing but the payroll”

 

[The War Report]

You gotta do anything to give your players an edge.

 

[Street Knowledge]

It’s probably the dumbest tradition in sports

Thank God, someone must've smartened him up finally.



When Hal was asked about the possibility of getting rid of the rule years ago, he said he never put much thought into it because nobody complained. I don't think he realized that nobody who was against that rule was going to complain. They just weren't going to sign with them. It's been proven through player surveys that the Yankees grooming policy has prevented them from signing players.

you known when it hit me that one day they might consider changing it?


When Odor cut his long ass beard and when he came home his daughter was scared to go near him because she no longer recognized him.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

No longer WS or bust, not spending the most and allowing facial hair? The organization is losing its identity. lol

You’d think they have bigger fish to fry.

Now everyone is gonna pull up with a Bigen David Ortiz beard

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

This might’ve been the picture that pushed Steinbrenner over the edge

 

[tremonthustler1]

Goldy

I really want him to do well. He's one of my favorite players the last 10-15 years or so.
