For Barnette, it was hair today, gone tomorrow
Strange things can occur when a player is given an entire off day, which the Texas Rangers had Thursday.
He might not know what to do with himself, and might not do anything at all.
His mind might drift.
He might find his way to a barber’s chair for the first time in a half-decade for more than just a touch-up.
Such was the case for Tony Barnette, who on Wednesday at New York was still rocking the long hair he’d had since his playing days in Japan. By Thursday, though, he felt a wild hair and, well, said so long to his wild hair.

No real reason. Didn’t lose a bet. Wasn’t trying to change his fortunes.
