You know which clean shaven Yankee looked most unrecognizable? Rougned Odor. And for all of Steinbrenner’s sins, NOTHING was as unforgivable as his demand that Oscar Gamble cut his iconic Afro.
Sometimes great things come about because of restrictions and as much as I dislike the Yankees and their stupid policy, at least their choices resulted in that amazing Simpsons episode.
Meanwhile, I am really enjoying the ABS system roll-out in Spring Training. As much as fans all rag on Manfred, this seems like a great innovation to the game and I give him credit for getting the stakeholders in the game to buy into this.
I hate looking at Gerrit Cole without a beard. It reminds me he took the money in return for his soul. And his face looks like a sack of sad potatoes without one. Oh no, what if I hate the Yankees less when they have facial freedom?
I see a lot of people rejoicing the ESPN news on social media, but I think it’s really bad for the league. Many people still see ESPN as #1 when it comes to sports, so it’s not great if the sport is just not going to have a presence on there at all. There’s definitely lots of issues with now they treat baseball, but they still have a huge reach. Didn’t this happen to NHL and they had to go back to ESPN on much less money in the end because they suffered in ratings and exposure? I just can’t see the league getting anywhere near that 550M elsewhere, which means less money for the teams. Not great when the RSN’s are doing so poorly.

I hope you know how much the title of this post delights me
Hard to believe in the year 2025 this was still a thing.
But will any Yankees be able to grow out their hair?

Congratulations, Don Z!
