Why are Atlanta Braves players wearing pearls?

At least one of the Atlanta Braves players wearing pearls catches the attention of just about everyone and it’s certainly an odd fashion choice for baseball.

MLB players wearing jewelry is nothing new. We see chains, bracelets and many other things throughout a baseball game. But the Atlanta Braves, at least one of them, has gone to the next level.

Joc Pederson has been wearing pearls as of late as he takes the diamond. And it’s a choice that has many people quite curious as to what’s happening.

Why are Atlanta Braves players wearing pearls?

Truth be told, there isn’t a real reason why Joc Pederson is wearing pearls, at least not one the outfielder is willing to share.

He’s given reasons like that he’s a “bad b—-“ and that it’s also a “mystery” to him as well. So we may never know, but he’s certainly catching eyes for doing it.

Pederson, of course, joined the Atlanta Braves at the MLB Trade Deadline after he was left in the wilderness by the Dodgers in free agency and signed with the Cubs, who then had a fire sale at the deadline. Since then, he’s been a huge power boost for the Braves, especially in the playoffs as he’s unleashed a couple of big homers.

Perhaps it’s the power of wearing the pearls that’s fueling him.
