Since the Yankees are the only team in baseball with an archaic rule about facial hair and players having long hair, young outfielder Clint Frazier had to shed his long, luscious red locks last season.
Then-manager Joe Girardi admitted at the time that he asked Frazier to cut his hair because it had become a "distraction." Apparently, Girardi somehow became annoyed that the media would ask him about the length of Frazier's mane. You'd think questions about hair instead of players would make a manager's press conference easy to handle, but for some reason, Girardi just couldn't tolerate questions about Frazier's hair.
