ATLANTA, GA - Braves catcher Brian McCann admitted Monday that his eyeglasses, as well as his beard are not authentic.
During pre-game warm-ups Monday, Chipper Jones asked McCann if he could try his glasses on for fun. McCann, refusing at first, was eventually overpowered by Jones and was forced to give them up.
"Wait a minute," Jones said as he took the glasses off and then put them back on, "are there any prescriptions in these lenses?"
At this point the four time All Star admitted that they were merely for vanity, and he owned them because he "always liked the way he looked in glasses."
Soon after and without provocation, McCann also admitted that his beard was fake and removed it as well.
"I wanted to come clean. I never meant to hurt anybody," the catcher said in a statement accompanying the above photo. "I hope my actions encourage other ballplayers to remove their beards as well."
