Back in 2004 I was with a bunch of friends that watched the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the playoffs to make it 3-1 Yankees. We didn't think the Sox could come back from a 3-0 hole but we had to continue watching the series in the same chairs and the same position we were in during Boston's first win. We all know what happened during the rest of that series and we feel we had a small piece in helping them.
My recent superstitions have been no one in my family, or myself, can wear a Boston sports shirt the day of the game. I've changed my daughter out of a New England Patriots outfit during the middle of a playoff game that my fiancé dressed her in. Needless to say the Pats lost and she heard a word or two about dressing our daughter in that.
I know athletes have plenty of quirky things they do before games. Wade Boggs use to eat fried chicken. Nomar Garciaparra used to have to touch every step in the dugout with both feet. Almost every pitcher steps over the white chalk of the foul line while walking to or from the mound.
I hope to hear from people about your superstitions as a "crazy" fan. I know it's not just me. I would love to see what fans do to help their teams win. -Justin Adams
