MLB Player Wears One Piece Gear Fifth Jewelry

by

A variety of anime series center around sports, such as Haikyu highlighting volleyball, Blue Lock focusing on soccer, and Hajime no Ippo revolving around the sport of boxing. Beyond the realm of athletic-themed stories in anime, real-life athletes have been discovering their fondness for this medium. In recent Olympic games, sports figures have acknowledged popular series, and it seems that a Major League Baseball player not only admires One Piece but has demonstrated his affection by adorning himself with a chain symbolizing Luffy’s final transformation.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., at present, plays as both an infielder and a center fielder for the New York Yankees, having also been part of notable teams like the Miami Marlins and Arizona Diamondbacks earlier in his career. His professional journey is so substantial that he not only graced some prominent Major League Baseball teams but even made it onto the cover of the popular video game, MLB The Show, in 2023. Recently, a new photo shared on the MLB’s official social media account showcases an extravagant chain designed by Chisholm Jr., which mirrors one of Monkey D. Luffy’s iconic moments from the Wano Arc, Gear Fifth.

Gear Fifth Comes to Major League Baseball

It’s important to note that the price of this “One Piece” chain wasn’t disclosed when it was first shown online, implying that it might be quite costly given its diamond-studded design inspired by the popular anime. The image of Luffy, in his Gear Fifth form, laughing heartily has become a memorable symbol throughout the history of transformations. It’s not surprising that the indestructible form would feature Luffy chuckling whenever he gets the chance, given how it turns him into a living cartoon character.

One Piece’s MLB Future

Various Major League Baseball teams have held “One Piece Nights” in the past, giving anime enthusiasts and baseball spectators a chance to acquire unique Straw Hat merchandise. On May 3rd coming up, the Boston Red Sox are joining forces with the shonen series for another partnership. This collaboration will feature exclusive One Piece jerseys that let fans become both members of the Red Sox and the Straw Hat group.

In the One Piece series, it’s never been shown that the Straw Hats have played baseball. However, you might find it intriguing to know about an old collaboration that has faded into obscurity. The GameBoy Advance game, titled One Piece: Going Baseball, brought together the Straw Hats, their closest friends, and most formidable enemies for a video game competition centered around baseball matches. This game was exclusive to Japan, and to truly appreciate it, you had to see it for yourself.
