What was Oswaldo Cabrera wearing on his necklace? Fans bemused by weird jewellery choice

Oswaldo Cabrera of the New York Yankees is known for his love of jewelry. He was wearing a unique item on his necklace recently, and it left fans astonished.

During the Subway Series game against the New York Mets on Tuesday, Oswaldo Cabrera was seen wearing his grandma Anna's tooth on his necklace. He scored 0-for-1 at his only at-bat during the game.

When asked about his choice to wear the necklace, Cabrera stated (via Nypost.com):

"My mom told me to wear it. Whatever my mom tells me to do, I'm going to do."

Cabrera has also worn an imitation pearl and color beaded necklace, gifted to him by Milton Ramos, a former New York Mets third-round pick. This jewelry is now available at PawGripz, a brand owned by Ramos.

Meanwhile, his choice to wear the necklace with the tooth garnered a lot of questions and jokes among fans and broadcasters.

Perhaps the tooth can become a sort of good luck charm to help him and his team, as the Yankees beat the Mets 7-6 in the game.
