River Avenue Blues just posted a list of nine of Joe Girardi's seventeen new commandments for Yankee players. Here's what has been discovered so far...1. Be on time. No excuse for lateness.
2. Shorts and T-shirts only permitted during spring training.
3. Curfew of 1 a.m.
4. Jewelry - only one chain is permitted. No earrings.
5. Only neatly cut beards, mustaches, goatees. No long hair or “unshaven looks.”
6. No family members in the clubhouse until after games.
7. No cell phones in the dugout.
8. Cell phones only allowed in the clubhouse until one hour before games.
9. No competing speakers in the clubhouse.
Pay special attention to #5 as it looks as though it supersedes King George’s Law of Facial Purity. No one knows if these are only Spring Training rules or if they will extend into the regular season. I will try to post the rest of the commandments as they are uncovered.
