    It may be just me, but I love how superstitious baseball players are.

    I'm not saying that superstitious beliefs are entirely right, but I'm not gonna lie- I haven't changed outfits for the last 11 baseball games (yes, I washed them). I do the same thing for football (and not really for basketball)- and I'm just a fan. I can only imagine the little things that players obsess over.

    I think it's awesome to see the little things like little rituals the dugout players do when someone is at-bat with a full count.

    Gotta respect the gris-gris!

    Superstitions are truly for the folks that need 'em. :thumb:

    Having said that , baseball has always had the best/funniest superstitions along with the best reasons to go on the DL.

    "If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you ARE!"

    :lol::lol:

    yeah i love all the crazy superstitions. im sure everyone knows no pitcher ever steps on the foul line--headed to the mound or leaving the field. from high school on up. i always enjoy watching big leaguers making 100 mill hopping over the line 100 times a game.

    also, the wade boggs one was always good. ate chicken everyday before the game. he played about 20 years and 162 games a year is a lot of chicken. probably started in high school or collage. so even more fowl play.

    I wish I had thought of this when in school. I start the roomer that every time pharpe gets laid the Tigers win. Then I go out the night before the game to see who's willing to take one for the team. :hihi:

    don't remember which one, but a current big league pitchers claims to intentionally step on it on the way out to the mound every time (says doesn't pay any attention on way of).
    heard him in an interview on XM
