I've been that bad in softball, but then, I suck as an outfielder.

Max might want to ditch the ridiculous chainage.  He's getting badly mocked on social media.

I’m sure he can sell them back for 10% of what he paid.  That would be another good life lesson.

Perhaps its the old curmudgeon coming out in me, but I've thought for years that MLB should ban the wearing of jewelry with the exception perhaps of a wedding/partnership band.

We all know that major league ballplayers (and many minor leaguers) are wealthy beyond anything that the majority of us will ever see in our lifetimes. Flaunting that wealth on the field of play really pisses me off, as well as it being a potential safety hazard. 

What happens if that chain gets caught in something during play and shatters, spilling diamonds across the turf? Does play come to a halt while other players or the grounds crew scrape around for poor old Max's missing jewels? 

Wear that shit at home if you have to, but no need to flaunt it on the field.

(ooooo.......that felt good!)

I suppose there's a joke in there about leaving diamonds on the diamond or not bringing diamonds to the diamond. I suppose if Max hadn't biffed those plays the other day there would be less mocking. 

When I played youth soccer way back when, we weren't allowed to wear jewelry, not even stud earrings. It's always surprised me to see professionals with jewelry on during games. If it were me, I'd leave the bling in my locker just so it wouldn't get caught on anything or anyone.

I never paid attention: Do players typically wear wedding rings?  I have a vague memory of an incident where a player would scuff up the ball with a ring with the stone removed and pointing inwards, but I might be remembering a movie.

In any case, there was a throwaway joke that this reminds me of from "Get Smart".  Max and the bad guy, Siegfried, were negotiating, and as part of the terms, they agreed to remove their concealed weapons.  The last one that Siegfried took off was was his suicide ring.  Max wondered out loud: suicide ring, I never heard of that.  Siegfriend replied, yes, if I take it off, my wife will kill me.  That joke didn't need to be there, but I appreciated it enough to kind-of remember it multiple decades later.

I'm not sure how I feel about it.  If it's a safety hazard, then that's a non-starter.  Still, if a player is an attention whore, I'd like to know about it, so that I don't get too attached.  I'd feel icky if I liked a player who turned out to be an ass.

I would be OK with it if the grounds crew didn't find anything but came in the next day wearing a miniature Infinity Gauntlet.

Clark might want to cool it with the bling until he shows he can hit major league pitching and not bungle plays in the outfield.  He's just asking for being heckled and made fun of on social media.  If he does hit major leaguers well, he can bring back the chains and whatever he wants.

Get the feeling that Max is the kind of player you'd hate on another team, but he's fun to root for if he's on your team.
