Red Sox Nearly Series Bound Thanks to Phiten?

No but the indomitable Red Sox almost made it to another fall classic this year. As improbable as it may have seemed, down 3-1 to what many consider to be the best team in major league baseball this year the Red Sox forced another game 7 in the ALCS. Call it tenacity, call it luck or just call it plain superstition but did you know that half of the Red Sox players are wearing Phiten necklaces on the field?

Phiten claims that its necklaces, bracelets, and titanium-infused clothing produce an electrical charge that relieves pain, increases energy, and speeds recovery. Could this be the Red Sox key to seemingly impossible comebacks? While there is a lack of research to backup claims by Phiten that their titanium infused apparel has a medical impact of any kind of professional sports stars this does not stop many deeply superstitious pro athletes from wearing and even overtly promoting Phiten necklaces, bracelets and clothing in hopes of continuing a streak of good luck.

ALCS game 6 starter Josh Beckett has worn a Phiten necklace on the mound for a number of seasons and few could argue the results he has seen, are they due to Phiten? Probably not but if that titanium woven necklace keeps his head in the big game and gives him a mental edge then what's wrong with that?

Phiten necklaces are worn by players on the Yankees, Twins and Tigers and continue to gain popularity as the Red Sox continue their domination of the American League.

The Red Sox near ALCS miracle this year will ensure that gear made by Phiten will become harder to find as every aspiring baseball player and every big leaguer snatch up Phiten merchandise in hopes of capturing some of the lightning that the Red Sox seem to catch every October.

Phiten necklaces sell for around $20-$40 and come in a variety of colors and lengths. The necklaces have become so popular you can now purchase Phiten products emblazoned with major league team logos.
