Yankees’ broadcaster Michael Kay had some not-so-friendly words for the team’s bat boy Monday night against the Guardians.
YES Network cameras zeroed-in on Yankees manager Aaron Boone in the bottom of the seventh inning — and standing next to him was a long-haired bat boy.
It didn’t take long for Kay to pounce, rebuking him for breaking the “Neatness Count” policy created by former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner in 1976, which is still implemented today. “Strange to see a Yankee uniform, somebody wearing that uniform with that sort of hair. If the players aren’t allowed, I don’t know if the bat boy should be allowed,” Kay said as the cameras focused on the bat boy.While mustaches are allowed, beards are not and there appeared to be a tiny bit of scruff on the bat boy’s chin.
“There are rules. Rules are rules,” Kay said. “He’s disobeying two of them. I think there’s facial hair and obviously, the hair is below the collar.”
