NEW YORK, New York -- The New York Yankees announced Friday that they are amending their long-standing facial hair policy to permit players and uniformed personnel to maintain well-groomed beards.
This change marks a departure from the nearly 50-year-old rule established by the late owner George Steinbrenner, which mandated a clean-shaven appearance, allowing only mustaches.
“All players, coaches and male executives are forbidden to display any facial hair other than mustaches (except for religious reasons), and scalp hair may not be grown below the collar,” the team’s player manual said, according to MLB.com. “Long sideburns and mutton chops are not specifically banned.”
Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner, George’s son, spearheaded the policy revision after extensive consultations with current and former Yankees.
Steinbrenner said in a statement posted on X by the Yankees it is “the appropriate time” to make this change in policy.
“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,” the statement said. “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.”
Newly acquired relief pitcher for the Yankees, Devin Williams, arrived at spring training earlier this month with a shaved beard he had while playing for the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Major League Baseball’s X account poked fun at his facial hair change in a post on social media.
“Devin Williams can grow his beard back now,” the account poste with a side-by-side picture showing the athlete with a beard and a shaved face.
Williams said he’d had his beard for six years and would like to keep it “as long as I can,” according to MLB.com.
