Yankees change infamous facial hair policy: Players can now have 'well-groomed beards,' Hal Steinbrenner says​

Hal Steinbrenner is making a change to his father's longstanding appearance policy​

Here's Hal Steinbrenner's statement on the change:

"In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees -- spanning several eras -- to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback. These most recent conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years. Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy."

Just sayin': George probably just rolled over in his grave....
