Baseball History -- August 15

Complete entry for August 15 is at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

Highlighted entry:
1991
Yankees 1B Don Mattingly is benched and fined $250 for refusing to cut his shoulder-length hair‚ but the Yankees still beat Kansas City‚ 5-1. He will get one two days later‚ and the hair will eventually be auctioned off for $3‚000 to benefit a children's charity. Mattingly is not alone; Steve FarrMatt Nokes‚ and Pascual Perez have all been told their hair length violates club policy. Mel Hall‚ who wears his hair in a small ponytail before and after games‚ is warned his appearance is "borderline."

Remember when this was the only thing that made news with the Yankees?
