New York Is Different From Other MLB Teams Because They Don't Allow Their Players To Have Facial Hair
The team that wears the pinstripes is different from other Major League Baseball teams.
How?
They don’t allow facial hair! Who made that rule? The late George M. Steinbreener seventy three years ago! Today that rule still applies!
Five months ago the team that wears the pinstripes added a new addition to their starting rotation! Who was it? Gerrit Cole who started his career in Pittsburgh where the right-hander spent five seasons from 2013-2017 . After his five year stint in Pittsburgh he went to Houston for two years. What do these two teams have in common they allowed their players to have facial hair.
In his first season in Pittsburgh who is member of the National League Central Gerrit Cole who is a right -hander had a record of 10-7 with a 3.22 earn run average . In his second season he had a record of 11-5 with an 3.65 earn run average .In his third season in Pittsburgh he had a record of 19-8 with an earn run average of 2.60 . In his fourth season he had a somewhat down season as the right -hander had a record of 7-10 with an earn run average of 3.88. In final season he improved from his down season in Pittsburgh finishing his tenure in Pittsburgh with a record of 12-12 with a 4.26 earn run average. Then it was off to Houston for two seasons starting in 2018 where the right -hander finished his inaugural season with a record of 15-5 with an earn run average of 2.88. In his final season in Houston the right -hander had a record of 20-5 with a 2.50 earn run average. “according to https://www.mlb.com/player/gerrit-cole-543037
Then it was time to decide where he was going to continue his career. Was it going to be on the west coast as a member of Los Angeles or the Los Angeles Dodgers? Turns out that wasn’t the case as Gerrit Cole decided to sign with the team he grew up rooting for for nine years $324 million contract. “according to an article by ESPN News Services
Gerrit Cole signing with the team that wears pinstripes meant one thing that his appearance would have to change and that he would have to get rid of the facial hair to play for the team he grew up rooting for but one thing that probably won’t change is the dominant pitcher that Gerrit Cole is when he is on the mound and I I and other fans of the team that wears the pinstripes can’t wait to see him in action if and when the season does get underway! For now though it’s the waiting game to see if we can ever get the season started as the Corona Virus has taken over the world and the United States and has put sports on hold.
