Don Mattingly, the ultimate team guy who was briefly suspended by the Yankees in the early ’90s for long hair (the “no long hair” policy remains), took a lighthearted approach in an exchange Friday with The Post. “Times change!!” Mattingly wrote. “We also used to wear suit and ties. And there were rotary phones.”

You no longer need to take a razor to your face if you play for the New York Yankees. Owner Hal Steinbrenner has amended the team's antiquated facial hair policy to allow for his team's players to sport well-groomed beards.

Aaron Judge with a beard? With the rollback of a decades-old New York Yankees team rule, that just might be possible.
