    All kinds of people have to wear their hair in a certain way

    Johnny Damon had to *cut* his hair when he moved to the Yankees, after his long locks were one of the defining features of the Red Sox World Series win. In fact, I think *all* of the Yankees have to cute their hair *and* shave. It's in their contracts too.
