[steveringo]

They don't have a facial hair rule.

ESPN New York also reported that Santana is “not fully keen on the Yankees because he likes his facial hair.”

Yes they do, they already said he needs to shave it to sign with them.

Have they even offered him a contract yet?


If not then there is nothing to turn down.

Maybe it was an issue for Cano as well?

Good, it's a dumb rule that needs to be mocked out of existence.

You don't get it, the organization is all about class and facial hair is classless.

I used to think the facial hair rule was dumb too until I saw the 2013 Red Sox and how dumb they looked, then it saved us from Brian Wilson and now Johan and his butchered shoulder.

Love the rule now.

If you don't want to grow a beard or mustache you don't have to. But anything that keeps a good player from signing with the Sinstripes is fine by me.

They say it is an unspoken 'rule' amongst the players that The Boss suggested back in the 70s.

The Yankees have no rules about facial hair.

I know it may be ''unspoken'' but it's something they have been following for years. Remeber what Johnny Damon looked like before he joined the Yankees? And now look at McCann, it may be unspoken but it is something they do take kinda serious.
