Derek Jeter played under the New York Yankees’ strict facial hair policy for his entire MLB career. But now thanks to the magic of artificial intelligence, we finally have an idea of what he might have looked like otherwise.
The Yankees shocked the baseball world on Friday by announcing the end of their longstanding policy against facial hair (other than mustaches). Beginning in the 2025 season, the Yankees will now be allowing “well groomed beards” on their players.

In reaction to the news, the retired former Yankees captain Jeter posted a hilarious image to his Instagram page. Jeter shared an AI-generated photo of himself rocking a beard while in his Yankees jersey.
“New rules!” Jeter wrote in his caption.
