setter1704tgr Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 What do you do before a game? Pregame meals, order of suiting up, ect.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) I don't believe in superstitions.........they are BAD LUCK! Habits? I got a few. For home games, I go to the Favorite Market and get two bags of peppermints and 2 jumbo packs of Extra spearmint gum for the girls. For me, I get a copy of the DNJ, a bag of Reese's "Bites" and a Diet Dew. I fill out the line-up card with the same pen, and keep the pitching chart with the another pen.

mchsballer Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Habits- thats a good name for it. Dont step on the line coming on or off the field. I try not to wear my jersey right before the game (bus ride) Making sure that the bats arent crossed in the dugout. Having a hamburger with pickles, onions, jalpenos and mustard after every game. 6 gatorades a game. Same sunglasses. Using the same bat until I hit a slump, then change it. As the great Bambino said, I have only one superstition -- I make sure I touch all the bases when I hit a home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 My old ones: Never ever step on the foul line. Eggs & bacon for breakfast. Left sock, right sock, left stir-up, right stir-up, left shoe, right shoe, tie left, tie right. Cross buckle shin guards. Bubble Yum gum, regular flavor (do they still make that?).

avery Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Superstitions and luck are in your head. If it works for you, do it. Luck is working hard and being prepared for opportune situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatsoccerfreak22 Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Never step on the foul line. After warming up before each inning, when the infielders meet up at the pictcher's mound after we throw down, spit in a circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCSweetz Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I don't believe in superstitions but I do have habits I can't seem not to do. I always have to stop by work and see a friend of mine before I head to the game or on my way to catch the bus. I always get a medium pepsi from work and a hug from my friend along with a good luck. One day I wasn't going to stop by there because I was running late but I felt so weird and uncomfortable I had to stop by anyways. Another thing I like before a game is a good luck kiss from my four year old brother. He doesn't do it every game but a lot of them. I feel a lot better when I do though. Being a pitcher I have to warm up my pitches in a specific order everytime I warm up. Pitchers have their habits that may look weird but actually help them. I know I have been given some weird looks while doing my warming up ritual. Any other pitchers do something to turn heads and have people question?
