Obviously, beards have nothing to do with an umpire's knowledge or his calls. Although if the beard is similar to that of Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), I suppose it could get into the way of your strike or out signal!
Yes, No, No

Our association is run by open-minded officials that are more interested in the following:

1. Professional appearance. (With or without a beard)
2. Good Rule knowledge.
3. Good Mechanics.
4. Professional attitude.
5. Promptness.
6. Hustle
7. Respecting Players and Coaches

All the other bullcrap went out in the 60's. HELLO!
