Earlier this month, Jeb Bush gave a mini (toy) turtle to a 13-year-old boy named Zacharie in New Hampshire. After they nerded out over NASA and space, Jeb handed Zacharie the turtle and said, “Slow and steady wins the race.” He carries a bunch of turtles in his pocket to hand out to kids on the campaign trail. Other contents of Jeb's pocket include a little baby Jesus and rosary beads.

Jeb isn't the only politician with unique pocket contents on the campaign trail. President Obama carried a military patch with him. The patch was given to him by a Vietnam veteran named Earl Smith, who had carried it around with him for 40 years for good luck and insisted that then-Senator Obama keep it. According to the Washington Post, other contents in Obama's pocket included "a memorial bracelet for a son fallen in Iraq, a gambler’s chit, a silver charm engraved in Braille, a tiny Hindu monkey god, a Madonna medal."

Similarly, many baseball players over the years have kept unique objects in their pockets:

An old baseball card featuring Jack Glasscock

Example A: Jack Glasscock, a shortstop in the 1880s and 1890s, would keep pebbles in his back pocket. He picked up the pebbles at his position as a way of clearing the ground, which earned him the nickname of “Pebbly Jack.”

Two players carrying tobacco canisters in their back pockets

Example B: Many players, such as Barry Bonds, Nick Swisher, Jose Molina and Joe Crede, have kept chewing tobacco or snuff in their back pockets. Carrying tobacco canisters has now been banned, so you won't see these circular canisters in players' pockets anymore. In fact, nowadays many players flip their pockets inside out. This trend was started by Tony Batista as a way to show his fans that he didn't have any tobacco.

Corey Patterson sliding into home base with a strange object in his pocket

Example C: Corey Patterson, who was originally drafted by the Chicago Cubs, has been spotted with an unknown wrench-shaped object in his pocket.

Tim Raines, when he first played for the Montreal Expos

Example D: Tim Raines, a former player and stolen base champion, stashed his crack pipe in his back pocket. He apparently learned to slide headfirst to avoid sliding on his pipe.

Joe Niekro claimed to have nothing in his pockets, and then an emery board fell out

Example E: Joe Niekro, a former pitcher for the Twins, got suspended for 10 games for having an emery board and a piece of sandpaper in his pocket. He claimed that he was filing his nails in the dugout, but the president of the American League didn't believe him.

Marcus Giles spitting out gum in the middle of a game

Example F: Marcus Giles has been known to stash sunflower seeds in his back pocket to eat while on the field.

Jason Giambi and his golden thong

BONUS: Not quite in the pockets, but baseball player Jason Giambi would wear a golden thong to “get out of slumps.” The legend continued as the thong would wind up in the lockers of other Yankees players who needed to get out of slumps. This is just one of the many superstitions that baseball players have had over the years.

**Side note: None of the baseball players keep anything as cute as toy turtles in their back pockets, and Jeb certainly doesn't carry around a crack pipe, but the similarity is still there!

Personally, if I even had pockets in most of the pants I wear, I'm not sure what I'd carry—probably food.
