Question
What is the purpose of the necklace on many of the Red Sox players

Answer
Hi Pat,

Thanks for writing.

I suppose some people may think those necklaces are why the Red Sox are in first place.  Baseball players are very, very superstitious.  Many believe that these "energy transport systems" provide all sorts of positive energy and relieve neck pain and just make a huge difference.

They're available over on www.amazon.com

"Phiten's patented Energy Transport System (ETS) enables the body to realize its maximum potential. Phiten's unique technology helps to reduce fatigue, tension and stiffness caused by stress or exercising. All Phiten products have undergone the ETS treatment. Sought after by thousands of professional athletes all around the world, Phiten products support their body while pushing themselves beyond their limits. From Ernie Els (professional golfer) to Randy Johnson (professional baseball player), many have incorporated Phiten into their daily lives."


At least (unlike steroids) they're legal!

Best Wishes,

Geoff
