What's up with all the gold chains on this team?

Post by Bully4you »

It's amazing to me how they play the game
with all that jewelry on.
I think I counted 4 chains on Jordan Walker
yesterday.
Masyn Winn has at least 2 maybe 3.
Scott has one.
I know Miles Mikolas has a big chain.
Seems to me, they'd play better without
all that hardware.
Walker for sure should try to play the game
naked. He's been lousy for years.
Maybe he'd improve if he got rid of all that metal.
Every time he swings, he has to adjust.
Just say'in.

Your right.
Walker should add #5 for good lucks sake.
He doesn't have enough.
And yeah, they aren't a distraction when you
swing the bat.
Right.
Okay.

Maybe they are trying to relive the disco era.

given their poor play, perhaps they shouldn't draw attention to themselves

I used to wear chains. It’s an old school deal. Never had an issue with them. Chewed on them mostly. Like bazzooka bubblegum.

Never understood jewelry in bb, or for that matter, on men.
It seems jewelry is dying even on women thankfully.
It's kinda dumb really.

I’m fine with chains. Ear rings aren’t my favorite.

It seems like all those chains would add weight and slow a person down. I'd try to take every advantage I could, lighter shoes, thinner socks, thin boxers, no undershirt, etc etc. LOL :lol:

Yeah, I don’t get it. Never liked wearing any when I played. And most dont attempt to keep it under the uniform so I guess it’s just a “hey look at me”type of thing. All that bouncing around when running or sliding wouldn’t seem to be very comfortable…..but if they need to show they have $$$

One of my favorite tee shirts is one that said ”Butkus never wore an earring”. Pretty funny. LT’s lightning earrings may be the worst. Must’ve picked them out while on coke.
