MLB pitchers and their gold chain around their necks.

Can anyone explain why MLB pitchers wear that gold chain around their necks that pops out of their shirt with every pitch and necessitates putting it back in the shirt before the next pitch.

I've thought the exact same thing. More generally, I don't know why anyone would wear jewelry while playing a physical sport. It seems sensible to just take it off while you're playing and then put it back on afterwards.

Hmmm. Seems like a logical place to hide a foreign substance. After all -- everyone's doing it. Some just better than others.

I have no idea why they wear it but I always got a kick out of Turk Wendell's shark tooth necklace.

Because it is the sort of thing that highly paid aholes do.
