The Yankees finally made Clint Frazier cut his glorious hair, because it was a ‘distraction’ The Yankees grooming police finally caught up with Clint Frazier. The top outfield prospect, known for his flowing red locks, was shorn Friday morning after his long hair apparently became too much of an issue around Yankees spring training. The cut, at 7:15 a.m. in the clubhouse at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, from a barber visiting special for the occasion, was scheduled after Frazier spoke with Yankees manager Joe Girardi about his personal style expression . The Yankees have a long-standing policy forbidding facial hair or overly long hair. “I like my hair, but I love playing for this organization,” said Frazier, who is expected to begin the season at Triple-A. “It was starting to be a distraction. It’s time to look like everybody else around here.” Frazier said his hair is now the shortest it’s been since he was in seventh grade. Reggie Jackson, a mentor to the 22-year-old power hitter, gave him a hug upon seeing him after the trim. In the end, Frazier’s lush curls were collected, and the plan is to donate them to a worthy cause.
