Why Yankees’ Oswaldo Cabrera wore a necklace with his grandmother’s tooth on it

New York Yankees outfielder Oswaldo Cabrera has been known to wear some quirky jewelry in the past.

But what he wore this week? Quirky might be underselling it.

Per the Yankees’ broadcast on YES, he wore a necklace with his grandmother’s tooth on it. Why? Because his mom told him to, and he does whatever his mother tells him to do.

What we do know are the facts stated above. That’s a real tooth hanging around his neck!
