Hal Steinbrenner, the New York Yankees' owner, has announced an amendment to the team's facial hair policy, permitting well-groomed beards starting in the 2025 season. This change overturns a strict grooming policy established by his father, George Steinbrenner, in 1976, which prohibited beards but allowed mustaches. After engaging with many former and current players, Steinbrenner deemed it necessary to modernize the policy to reflect changing attitudes and encourage players' self-expression without compromising discipline.
For the first time in generations, the Yankees will allow well-groomed beards, marking a significant change to their long-standing facial hair policy.
Hal Steinbrenner acknowledged the feedback from current and former players, emphasizing the importance of evolving the team's grooming policy as part of modernizing the franchise.
