The subject of wearing a mask has become a heated one this year, but Joe Torre disarmed plenty with a funny tweet on the topic.

The former New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers manager shared a photo on Twitter Wednesday of himself with a mask covering his face. Torre joked that if he can fit his mask over his large nose, nobody has an excuse for not wearing one.

People can continue to argue about the efficacy and rules surrounding masks, but most can agree that self-effacing humor is a big winner.

Now 80, Torre won an MVP award as a player and four World Series as the manager of the New York Yankees. He has worked for the commissioner’s office since 2011.
