Don Mattingly agrees ‘Instances change’ as Yankees change facial hair coverage

TAMPA — I’m apprehensive in regards to the Yankees. They lastly eliminate that half-century-old, no-sense no-beards rule, and Aaron Boone tells us, “It’s not a choice made frivolously, clearly.”

He’s not mendacity about that. However after all, this can be a choice that ought to have been made frivolously as a result of it all the time was a non-serious rule that no Yankees participant was identified to help.

Boone, who mentioned he agreed with the choice (as apparently did anybody else discovered Friday), added that discussions in regards to the rule have been happening a really very long time. He wasn’t mendacity about that, both. For some purpose, they needed to inform us how a lot work they put into one thing that needs to be apparent.

“Debating and deliberating this subject is one thing I’ve been doing with members and employees … for years,” Yankees proprietor Hal Steinbrenner advised Yankees writers.
