What an improvement.

Just curious - aren't the Yankees strict on thier grooming policies for their players? They made them cut it?

He passed his physical Thursday, then went to Salon Ishi on Manhattan's East Side for a new look. With Damon's wife, Michelle, looking on along with a Yankees' photographer, a stylist identified as "Chantal" rid Damon of his facial hair and long locks, putting him in compliance with the code of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.

Guess so. Here's the link:http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5185964

Yeah - he looked OK when he was in Oakland - it was once he got to Boston that he went the "missing link" route. Giambi got cleaned up when he arrived in NY too.

(as an Oakland fan, I don't know which I dsilike more: Damon as a Red Sox or as a Yankee!)

I just watched the foxsports report, looks like Damon was about to cry a couple of times. He WILL NOT get the same amount of fame and love he got from his fans here in the Boston area. I know for one, I will never look at him the same as I did when he played for my beloved Red Sox.

Yup. Owner George Steinbrenner rules. No player is allowed to have hair touching their shoulders. I believe the are only allowed a small moustache if any facial hair.

I personally liked him better as his "caveman" self with long hair a full facial hair. But sadly to say, he is now a traitor in the eyes of this member of Red Sox Nation.
