Statement from Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner on the alteration of Yankees facial hair policy:
ALT Statement from Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner RE: Alteration of Yankees facial hair policy In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees - spanning several eras - to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback. These most recent conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years. Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy.

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

Let me tell you a story:
In 2015 I was working on a Presidential campaign and one night some of the staff go to dinner. While there, the person heading up our campaign research (let’s call him Research Guy) looked at me and said he wanted to give me some advice.
He said I will need to get some additional experience before I am able to make this much money again. 🧵

Quincy Jones, who died at 91 on Sunday, was a colossus of American music, leaving a profound influence on nearly every genre he touched — jazz, funk, soundtracks, syrupy R&B and chart-topping pop.
Here is a sampling of his essential work. nyti.ms/4f7LuR6

Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, it becomes bittersweet—sadness is joined by love and gratitude.
Nostalgia is a healthy response to loss. Longing for the past motivates us to appreciate the present and improve the future.
The goal of coping is not to erase pain. It's to gain purpose.
October is not even 24 hours old and we got strikes 🤝🏽 and strikes 💣 and another fallen TV icon, John Amos 🙏🏽. VP debate is tonight and folks are still without power and water after Helene. Whew. Y’all be easy, ok?
This is so well said/explained. 💕💚
