Why does Josh Beckett wear a cowbell rope around his neck? I mean, that rope has to be as thick as a medium size garden snake.

because he is a cowboy.. seriously, he plays in probably the most liberal major city, but he is a staunch western cowboy type.
He owns a ton of land in like Montana, and has 46 heads of cattle. so he is a rancher in the offseason, that is why.
Plus he likes hemp jewelry, so you know he is 4:20 friendly!

It doesn't seem to bother him too much on his delivery. Many players wear certain things for personal reasons and I am not sure of the significance of the object involving Beckett.

It's just a lucky charm that he wears, kind of like Turk Wendell's extremely thick necklace of bone that he wore while pitching.

I've heard rumors that it's magnets around a band of hemp that is supposed to help with foot pain. But this hasn't been confirmed, I don't think.

I guess it's a lucky charm of some sort for him. Or may it has sentimental value to him(somehow or another).

It has a small camera used to steal the comments of his opponents. He got it three weeks ago.

I heard that he uses it to relax, to calm himself when he is getting angry.
