Gamel, who was told by Jennifer Steinbrenner to cut his hair last year, has let his shoulder-length hair go, though he did not have to make quite the same sacrifice as Frazier.

Frazier said the Axe men’s grooming products company and Big Red chewing gum had delivered their products to him in hopes that they might do business together once he reached the starting lineup.

And Frazier reached out to Harper, long perceived to be a target of the Yankees, on Twitter over the winter offering hair care tips — when they are teammates with the Yankees.

“He was just trying to poke the bear a little bit,” said pitcher J. P. Feyereisen, who was traded with Frazier to the Yankees.

Frazier said it was all in good fun, which is how he would like people to view his hair.

“It’s awesome that people take notice of what I’ve got growing on my head,” he said. “It is a part of me, it is unique and I like it.”

Still, Frazier promised to be on his best behavior and do more listening than talking during spring training. He said he had learned some lessons last season, putting too much pressure on himself after his trade to the Yankees, when he hit just .228 at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Among the lessons to be learned is a simple one about playing in New York, especially for the Yankees. Your game had better keep pace with your mane.

If not? Hair today, gone tomorrow.
