Only hours after being traded to New York, Clint Frazier (nicknamed “Red Thunder” for his long, flowing, fire-red locks) has frequented a place he probably does not visit often: a hair salon.
Arguably the Yankees’ biggest catch at this frenzied trade deadline, and only hours after the trade was made official, he wasted no time to conform to the late George Steinbrenner’s strict hair policy, enacted in 1973. It states: “No male player, coach, or executive may wear any facial hair except for a mustache. They could also grow sideburns or mutton chops. The players’ hair was not allowed to be worn below the collar” (Bleacher Report).
