Since 1976,the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB) have maintained a strict appearance policy,specifying that players' hair must not touch their collars and that they may have mustaches but no other facial hair. The policy came from then-franchise owner George Steinbrenner,who believed that regulating his players' appearance would instill a sense of discipline. Steinbrenner began noting which players he believed needed haircuts when he took over the Yankees in 1973,but the policy was not codified until three years later. Steinbrenner's policy remains in place after his death,and has led to a number of dramatic appearance changes for players who come to the Yankees from other teams,such as Oscar Gamble,as well as pushback from players who prefer long hair and beards. In 1991,Don Mattingly was taken out of the Yankees' lineup for a day when he refused to cut his hair.
