C.C. Sabathia’s Whiskers Seem to Test the Yankees’ Strict Policy on Hair

TAMPA, Fla. — A black-gloved salute by the 1968 Olympians Tommie Smith and John Carlos this was not. Nor was it as nearly as weighty as quarterback Colin Kaepernick taking a knee.

But when the Yankees’ C. C. Sabathia took the mound Tuesday for his spring training debut against the Tampa Bay Rays, he did so with an air of defiance that was plain to see. In fact, it was all over his face.

Sabathia pitched with neatly groomed stubble across his face. It was a far cry from the Houston Rockets’ James Harden, but Sabathia’s shadow — which might be described as several hours beyond 5 o’clock — is noteworthy because of the Yankees’ longstanding policy against beards and long hair.
