Anyone tell me why Braves Pederson wears pearls?

Is it a good luck thing or a fashion statement?

2. Well, mission accomplished.

It got my attention.

Thanks, Hoyt.

9. I'm not a fan of pearls or big gold chains. The latter looks like a chipped tooth

11. My dad played in the minors....

Always said he was holding out for the fur lined jock strap, but that was a different generation...LOL.

5. Yes. He told his jeweler (they have jewelers) that he wanted something "different"

He was on the Dodger team last year so he could set a new record of sorts tonight.

4. I noticed Atlanta fans also wearing pearls.

6. Okay... so it's a thing.

Huh... just curious.

[TomSlick]

7. Oh, it's a thing alright.

Just an odd thing.

8. LOL

10. His wife found them in the glove box and he told her they were his, so now he wears them?

[FalloutShelter]

12. LOL

13. Lol! Maybe he'll be "fronting" for years!
