Yoenis Cespedes snaps chain sliding into 2B, leaving diamonds on diamond

NEW YORK -- Yoenis Cespedes left it all on the diamond Wednesday night -- or, at least, probably several thousand dollars' worth.

The New York Mets slugger snapped his glitzy necklace during a hard slide into second base in the first inning of a game against the Atlanta Braves, scattering gems around the infield.

Cespedes hustled into the bag after blooping a ball down the right-field line, and second baseman Ozzie Albies jumped over him while receiving a throw from the outfield. Cespedes was stretching after the play when he noticed one of his necklaces was broken, pulled it off his neck and furiously threw it to the ground.
