New York Yankees is one of the oldest and most traditional organizations in the MLB and for this reason it tries to preserve certain characteristic elements throughout the years. Among what has endured in the Bronx team are the dress and image rules for their players, which have caused some controversy and open the debate whether they should already be changed.
Many of the players who become part of the New York Yankees not only have to go through exams and physical tests, but also have to undergo a makeover if they have certain characteristics.
This is because the Bronx organization does not allow its elements to use facial hair such as beards and mustaches, nor can they be with long hair, norms that have been debated.
Fans, media specialists and even ex-Yankees players have dismissed these types of situations as “archaic” and “old school” and consider that they should be revoked from the guidelines.
It’s undeniable that countless talented players have passed through the New York Yankees, but would there be more of them if they removed those kinds of rules? Should it be adapted to the time?

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, starting a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is managed mainly by men. Degree in Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball from the Mexican Baseball League (LMB ), Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Rey Series. I have done work for social networks such as coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social networks, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was in a game of Lions of Yucatán, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team of my loves and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, in the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from ‘minute one’ and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
