What Happens When A Red Sox Player Gets A Haircut from a Yankees Barber?

What would you do as a sports fan if a player from your team's biggest rival, the team that has led to decades of vitriol and hate towards each other, suddenly walked into your barbershop asking you for a haircut?

Don't worry, you're not the only one with as big of a grin as the Grinch right now.

RED SOX CHAMPION WENT TO NEW YORK FOR A HAIRCUT…

While filling in and cohosting OutKick the Morning last week with Kelly Stewart, I asked Kevin Millar, who was the first baseman of my arch-nemesis, the Boston Red Sox World Series Championship 2004 team, what the worst experience he's had from a disgruntled fan like myself had been.

"I remember getting my haircut and I was always a guy that if I wasn't hitting I would change up my look. I would grow the handlebars, the goatee or the beard," Millar began.

"So I go into the barber and try and get this Eminem-type look. Platinum blonde hair. This was when I was [playing with the Baltimore Orioles after the Red Sox.] And I walked out of this barbershop in New York and straight up it looked like a [bright green] tennis ball. There is NO doubt in my mind that this was a Yankees fan and they screwed Kevin Millar over!" 

"It was that bad," the Red Sox champion continued.

SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER!

I mean first off, Kevin's gotta know that you do not go into enemy territory and ask for anything… ESPECIALLY when it comes to your physical appearance. Dude is lucky the barber didn't "slip" and shave off one of his eyebrows as well!

Also, at one time in my life, I also had the Eminem, Slim Shady bleached hair, Kevin. However, I was in high school and not a professional baseball player making millions. But hey, nobody ever said the Red Sox were the brightest players (I say an angry, bitter, Yankees fan who still has PTSD from that 2004 ALCS loss to Millar and his Sox!) 

Millar did go onto say that when it comes down to it, you will always get arrogant fan interactions from time to time, but for the most part, baseball fans will respect a player that played hard.

"The fun hate is part of it because, honest to God, when you go out on the streets and see Yankees fans, they respect you if you played hard and played the game right. They may not like you because you played with the Red Sox, but if you bust your ass hard, they'll respect you and ask you for a picture," Millar said. "The same thing goes with Derek Jeter if he goes to Boston… if you know baseball and you're a Boston Red Sox fan, you better respect Derek Jeter."

It's one thing to ask for a picture, but it's another when you allow a Yankees fan to have the hair trimmers, Kev! Didn't you learn from Michael Jordan' ordering pizza before the 1997 NBA Finals against the Jazz!
