A bat boy who went viral during the Yankees–Guardians series this week due to his long hair actually has a specific reason for keeping his locks.
Being a bat boy is just a part-time gig for Nate Rosenhaus, as he also plays the drums for his band, The Open Doors, hence his hairstyle.
Without knowing this, Yankees play-by-play announcer Michael Kay criticized Rosenhaus on air for not following the team’s longstanding strict policy on long hair. However, Rosenhaus is employed by the Guardians but worked as a visitor’s clubhouse assistant for the Yankees.
