SPORTS: Pitching fashion

It goes without saying that major league baseball players have lots of money to drop on bling. Look no further than pitchers, who frequently have the value of a new car hanging from their ears and around their necks. But lately, the bling seems to have been joined by some bling blah.

Watch pitcher closeups the next time the Blue Jays play. It seems every pitcher is wearing these necklaces that look like the mating of a rope lariat and a bicycle lock. I can't believe they're comfortable. I think Roy Halladay was the first to wear them. And just like fashion victims, the rest of the staff followed along.

And the way the team is pitching, won't be long before the whole league is wearing them.
