Ketchup-stained Brian Wilson speaks out on Yankees' facial hair policy

David Price sparked a mini-controversy when he sounded off on the Yankees' no-beard rule last month, telling Fox Sports that, "I wouldn't stay there very long then. I wouldn't sign a long-term deal there. Those rules, that's old-school baseball. I was born in '85. That's not for me. That's not something I want to be a part of."

Now, one of baseball's foremost facial hair enthusiasts has weighed in on the issue. TMZ caught up with free agent reliever Brian Wilson on Tuesday to find out if he agreed with Price's views on joining the Bombers.

"I'm from Boston," Wilson responded.

Call it a clever non-denial.
