1999 Yep. That's Jayson Werth. Skinny, beardless, glasses-wearing Jayson Werth was once an Orioles prospect back in the day after being selected by Baltimore with the 22nd overall pick in the 1997 Draft out of Glenwood High School in Chatham, Illinois. (Bowman Baseball Card)

2004 The first traces of beard start to appear after his trade to the Blue Jays prior to the 2004 season. Werth sported the well-manicured goatee look for a short while. (Getty Images/Jed Jacobsohn)

2008 Once he ended up in Philadelphia, Werth experimented a bit with different iterations of the beard, but the one common thread was the extended flavor savor, running from his bottom lip down his chin. (Getty Images/Jeff Zelevansky)

2010 He even abbreviated it for his press conference when he signed with the Nationals prior to the 2011 season. There he is with Nats GM Mike Rizzo, his beard barely present. (Getty Images/Mitchell Layton)

2011 It wasn't until the end of the 2011 season that the beard really began to show signs of the life it would take on. Here's Werth in a matchup against the Braves in early September of that year. (Getty Images/Jim McIsaac)

2012 And then, in 2012, much like the team he plays for, the beard grew into its own. Just look at that thing in all its glory. (Getty Images/Mike Ehrmann)
