The Braves celebrate their World Series victory with a ring. The time is 1:05.
The Braves finally have their bling, and pearls are involved.
The coaching staff and roster of the Atlanta Braves received their World Series rings prior to the first pitch of their game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.
24 current players received rings for their efforts as part of the 2021.
Braves manager Brian Snitker said earlier this week that it is something that you dream about. I am going to make sure that I preserve every second of it because you are never guaranteed for this to happen again.
The Atlanta Braves won their fourth World Series trophy last November when they beat the Houston Astros in Game 6. In 1995 the Braves won the World Series.
The ring recipients walked from the Braves dugout onto a red carpet that led to a stage in front of the pitcher's mound. A black box held the rings.

The Braves logo is in 18.71-karat white gold, a nod to the franchise's founding in 1871.
The ring has a top on. It lights up with micro-LED lights that illuminate a miniature Truist Park inside the ring. The inside of the ballpark features the number 44 on the grass in remembrance of Hank Aaron, who died earlier in the year. The number 44 was worn by him.
The 755 career home runs of the man are on the ring. There are 755 diamonds on it.
Joc Pederson is an outfielder for the San Francisco Giants and was involved in designing the ring. Pederson's pearl necklace, which he wore throughout the playoffs, is in the ring. Fans latched onto the phenomenon last fall and each ring has a single pearl.
Fans wore pearls to the ballpark during the playoffs. Children were encouraged to wear pearl necklaces as the excitement over the team grew.
After walking off the podium with their new rings, excited players huddled in groups on the infield, comparing rings, snapping photos with their phones and showing them off to the cameras connected to the in-stadium video board.
Snitker admitted this week that he wouldn't wear his ring a lot.
The manager said that he was not a big ring wearer. I will be very proud of it and display it.
The Braves honored their individual award winners in a ceremony on Friday before the ring ceremony on Saturday.
