Thank God, everyone in my generation has been asking for this for years. Players play better when they feel better. Players feel better when they can do what they want with their looks, in my opinion. Sucks that the tradition is gone, but it was long overdo.

And some player will challenge what constitutes a “ well groomed beard “ and we might even get the courts involved.

Really? I was a Yankee fan for 40 years, and aside from a famous Steinbrenner-Mattingly dustup over his mullet in the mid-1980s, I haven't given it another thought. Once in awhile, I'll watch a random MLB game and laugh at the pitcher sporting a beard reminiscent of the abolitionist John Brown. There's a lot to be said for tradition - and granted, this one was insignificant - and I'm always happy when an organization bucks the whims of a generation bent on breaking tradition.
