Another Baseball Question

I’m sure this has been answered before, but I can’t seem to find an appropriate thread.

What are those woven necklaces that professional baseball players are often seen wearing during a game? Too many players wear them for it to just be a coincidence.

Phiten necklaces. Superstition or magic.

Question answered. Thanks!

The ones the OP is refering to are made by Phiten, but they’re actually wearing this model the Tornado. It’s two necklaces braided together, and sells for $50 in team colors.

Some players (Randy Johnson) have extolled their virtues, but I think most players are wearing them because they’ve been paid to.

Are players allowed to take money to wear items that aren’t sanctioned by the league? Or are these the official snake-oil scamnecklaces of MLB?
