Sorry Yankees fans, if you were hoping to see Brian Wilson with the team — it ain’t gonna happen. If you’re a real Yankees fan, you know the reason why just by looking at the pic above.

Via CBS:
With Mariano Rivera calling it a career and GM Brian Cashman saying he’s “not sure” if setup man David Robertson is ready for the ninth inning, the Yankees figure to be in the market for a closer this winter. Joe Nathan and Grant Balfour are free agents, among others, but we can cross former Giants closer Brian Wilson off the list. Why? Look:
The Yankees have had a pretty strict facial hair policy — neatly groomed mustaches only, no hair below the lip — for decades now, a policy the right-hander wants no part of. Remember, Wilson reportedly turned down a cool $1 million to shave his beard earlier this year.
