Earlier this season Milwaukee Brewers decided to trade in two-time All-Star closer Devin Williams down New York Yankees In the case of the left -handed initial brootor Nestor Cortes and Infield Perspekt Caleb Durbin. Milwaukee, who will of course be expected when Williams enters his last season before he reaches a free agency and will be too pricey. Trading him early, as with Josh Hader, he assured that they got some players for him instead of nothing.
But even after the end of trade, everyone, especially brewing fans and Yankees, everyone wondered the same thing: would New York would force Williams to overtake the beard he wore, since he broke into the major?
Former Milwaukee brewers closer to Devin Williams had to follow the principle of hair on the face New York Yankees
When George Steinbrenner bought Yankees in 1973, he was rejected by his players with long hair and beards during the national anthem. Air Force veteran himself had to follow the strict appearance code in his youth and wanted the same to apply for his players.
And so long hair and beards were banned by Yankees. For Sports newsThe rule is: “” to all players, trainers and men’s management can display any hair on a face other than a mustache (except for religious reasons), and the scalp’s hair may not be grown below the collar. Long side and “ram cutlets” are not particularly banned. “
This rule, of course, means that Williams, the debutant of the NL year in 2020, had to shave a beard before reporting to spring training. What he did.

Like for years, fans had a lot to say, both in support of the Yankee policy:

Or fun for Yankees is the same hair requirement on your face! https://t.co/dkmgpue5ok– Thetosrusks (@jc1of1) February 13, 2025
I completely disagree with that. I think it’s great to have a face policy on your face. He keeps the team’s professional. I don’t want Yankee player to have a beard because it’s just bad. #REPBX https://t.co/mszezgatgis

It is worth noting that Juan Soto, the greatest free agent on the market last season, played for Yankees last year and did not like their hair policy on his face.
