It's called professionalism. I am far from a high wage employee but my boss would damn well let me know if I began showing up for work looking unkempt. Sadly in the real world there are rules for hygiene. If your looks portray a lack of professionalism in the mind of your boss or owner they certainly have the right to tell you to clean yourself up a little. Even Best Buy puts limitations on earrings and hair length. But JR is 'out of touch'..I recommend you look in the mirror to see who is out of touch here.
This is baseball! I hate the whole corporate mentality when it comes to a game for kids. There's a different set of rules when it comes to sports. If you got into a fight at work, you'd be thrown in jail, but when a hitter charges a pitcher then they're suspended. It's a different standard across the board, so you can't compare working at best buy and playing baseball professionally.
