Beards are no longer banned in the broning. New York’s Yanks announced Friday morning that they changed their long-lasting facial hair policy. The players and uniformed staff will now allow you to have “well-groomed beards”, said the team’s President Halbren.

That policy was located in the former owner George Steinbren, Hall Father in the 1970s.

Here is the statement of Hal Steinbrenner On a change.

“In recent weeks, I have spoken to a large number of former and current Anankees. A few years, their prospects for our long hair and care policy, and I appreciate their most recent and diverse reactions. an extension of continuous internal dialogue that begins for several years. After all, the final decision depends on me, and after the great attention, we will pass our players and uniforms to have our expectations to have a well-groomed beards forward. Appropriate time to get out of the familiar comfort of our former policy. “
