Having a beard or a moustache does not seem to me like it should be a problem. If a guy makes good calls, knows how to manage a game and has a consistent strike zone who the heck cares if he has facial hair??
Sounds like grounds for a discrimination lawsuit to me if a certain umpire could prove he was singled out and discriminated against just because he had facial hair. Is there any particular reason for this decision? Thanks.
