February 26, 201511 yr it was talked about a little on the TV yesterday, but what is America's fixation with facial hair? I watched American Idol last nite and all three Ryan Secrest, Keith Urban and Harry Connick look like they hadn't seen a barber or a razor blade in months. The Sox lineup looks like the players are auditioning for Smith Bros cough drops. Can the manager impose appearance codes or is that a thing of the past? thanks, douglas
February 26, 201511 yr there is a fine line in which a dress code can be stated. before it was "facial hair trim and properly groomed", now it appears as this is a fade and how far can the owners make a suggestion of clean shaven but yet a mustache is ok. i just don't know if anything can be done about it, but ride the fade out.
February 26, 201511 yr When facial hair makes these guys worse at baseball, then I'll start caring about it.
February 26, 201511 yr For a while you would see nothing but goatees. Now it's beards, and some really big ones. I couldn't grow one if I tried. Being blonde, I can't even get a good 5 o'clock shadow. If I could get one like LaRoche, I'd be sporting it in the winter.

Not sure if that will still be the case.

February 26, 201511 yr I've been getting into the beard thing for a bit now...have the beard comb, the beard oil, etc. It's pretty awesome

February 26, 201511 yr I've never understood why Reinsdorf had the long hair/facial hair rule but it's not my team to make those rules. Forget facial hair, I just wish I could grow hair on my head.

The stuff I have helps a lot with grooming...and it also helps moisturize your skin underneath your beard. I would highly recommend.
February 26, 201511 yr I've always wanted to work up to a Rollie Fingers-style curled handlebar mustache. My wife has informed me that our sleeping arrangements may have to change in that instance, so I thought better of it. Honestly, there are people who care about this? I mean, about what facial hair the ballplayers have? I mean AJP had that awful dye-job on his hair a while ago and no one cared.
