There are two things guaranteed in life: death, and cutting your hair if you play for the Yankees.
When it comes to 22-year-old outfielder in the Yankees organization Clint Frazier, his story wasn’t any different. He had to recently cut his hair after his beautiful red locks were called a “distraction.”
Clint Frazier had his hair buzzed this morning. He said that he talked to Joe Girardi and they agreed it had become a distraction.

A distraction? Interesting. For Frazier or for the Yankees front office?
Needless to say, the social media world had a lot to say about it before Frazier even sat down in the chair to rid himself of his hair.
New York Yankees logic:
Clint Frazier's hair = distraction

Just spoke to the barber who cut Clint Frazier's hair. "It's pretty unique," he said.

that is the right attitude @clintfrazier it's just hair, it grows back. #RedThunder

While this is true, when it does grow back, he will more than likely have to take scissors to it once again.
The Yankees PR department did mention Frazier’s hair will be donated to a charity that creates wigs for children with cancer.
