Chris Sale has a good luck charm. His name is Daddy Long Neck.
Following Sale's latest rehab start in Worcester — a five-inning, one-run effort against the Buffalo Bisons— the seven-time All-Star spoke with reporters outside of Polar Park. While most of the questions focused on baseball, there was at least one inquiry about his unconventional post-game attire.
Sale's tank top featured a very tall — or long — skinny individual without any sort of muscle mass. Introducing: Daddy Long Neck.
"He might be the only person in the country who can make me feel jacked," Sale joked.
For those who aren't aware, Daddy Long Neck is a viral social media star who has Marfan Syndrome — a rare condition that prevents people from gaining weight.
He boasts more than 1.8 million followers on Instagram and an OnlyFans page.
No word on whether Sale is a subscriber, but he's a proud devotee. The lefty revealed he rocks the one-of-a-kind tank every game day and bullpen day.
With Red Sox starters struggling, Sale's pending return comes at the perfect time. His next start in Worcester is slated for Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
And Daddy Long Neck will be leading the way.
