Frazier returned to ‘bite the hand’ of whoever fed him; criticized Yankees prior to series vs. Cubs

clint frazieroutfielder who once played for the New York Yankeesone more time criticized his former team. The “Red Thunder, as his teammates usually call it, arrived at the Bronx with your team, chicago cubssince starting this Friday they will face a series of three games at the Bombers’ home.

Frazier declared to be against facial hair policy that the organization implemented since 1973, when it prohibited all its players from shaving their beards and reducing the length of their hair. “You had to be a standard version to be on that team (Yankees). If you weren’t, then you were like a really bad distraction, apparently. So no wonder they tell me what I had to look like for the last five years.”

Following his signing with the Cubs, Frazier has grown out his red beard and mustache, which he says makes him feel freer to be himself and more comfortable on the field.

Frazier will return to Yankee Stadium this Friday for the first time since signing a free agent contract with the Cubs last offseason. The former first-round pick of the Bronx Mulos ended his era with the New York team hitting .239/.327/.434 with 29 home runs and 97 RBIs in 228 games.

With the Windy City, he has hit .216/.356/.297 in 19 games for the Cubs so far, though his season was halted by appendicitis.

After having been a radio announcer for a few years in the “Perla Tapatia”, I returned to my hometown, Mazatlán, Sinaloa and was hired by El Debate Newspaper in May 2019. My first months in El Debate were writing articles for the vertical: “My Pocket”, however, in September of the same year I became part of the powerful lineup of “Al Bat”, where I am still working as a web journalist. In “Al Bat”, we truthfully present to our readers the most relevant aspects of the baseball world, mainly from the MLB, winter leagues in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and the Asian continent. I am a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League and the Boston Red Sox in the American League. My big dream is to get to know the Fenway Park stadium, the historic venue of the “Patirrojos”.
