I think I would like Manny a lot better if he just stood up and said, "Hair rules are stupid, I'm not cutting my hair," instead of splitting them. I do like Torre's response to all this:

"He haunts me with this," Torre said. "He said, 'It's the hair.' Every time he gets a hit he tells me, 'It's the hair.' He's been funny. I continue to tell him, I say, 'If it was the hair, I would have snuck into your apartment when you were in Boston and shaved your head.' I said, 'It's your ability.'"
