I can’t tell you – that’s one of my superstitions!

As a fan do not have one. As a player I would always step on a bag on the way back to the dugout when I ran in from the outfield.

I used to have some as a player – wearing a particular shirt under my uniform for example – but I don’t have any as a fan. I guess I don’t say no-hitter or perfect game if the Giants pitcher is throwing one, but that’s about it.

Bad season = New cap for new season.
Good season = Cap stays for next season.

If I’m in a gameday thread and the Giants are playing well, I STAY IN THE GODDAMN GAMEDAY THREAD! (HINT!)

For a while I had my glove with me during games because it started a winning streak. Then they went on a losing streak. Fuck that glove. Sometimes I’ll have a baseball close by. This can be dangerous if the game gets ugly.

My Barry Bonds jersey is cursed. Cursed I say. My Trevor Wilson-signed cap is also.

My son is a lucky charm. I blame his 9 PM CDT bedtime for the lack of playoffs in the past 5 seasons. Yesterday he stopped watching the game to get in the pool. Rockies score the first two runs. NO MORE POOL FOR YOU! Seriously, I try to get him to watch the games or at least be in the room. I’ll let him fall asleep on the couch sometimes and I carry him to bed later.

I don’t bathe. But let’s get back to the superstitions.

I don’t answer the phone during a rally. YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE WATCHING THE GIANT GAME. AND IF YOU ARE, YOU DON’T CALL AND TALK ABOUT THE RALLY!

This goes for all Dodger games, I don’t wear blue. Not even blue jeans. Fuck the Dodgers. The mrs asked me this weekend why I don’t have a lot of blue clothes even though I look good in blue. I said it’s because of the Dodgers. She asked me if I was serious. Yes. Yes I am.

Before every pitch I’d tap my bat against home plate. As a fan, I’ll occasionally break out a rally cap

I have a few different Giants hats and I’ll usually switch hats when they lose and keep wearing the same hat when the win. Not really a superstition, I guess, but more of a way of deciding which hat to wear for a certain game.

I had a few when I played, such as using the same undershirt and boxers every game (hygiene permitting, that is). I also used to sleep with my bat.

As a player I wouldn’t step on the chalk lines and would get dressed in the same order before a game. I think the latter was more OCD than superstition though. The order was undies, undershirt, left sock, right sock, jock strap, jersey, pants, belt, fold left pant leg (because it was ALWAYS high pants), fold right pant leg, left cleat, right cleat, tie left cleat, tie right cleat, hat.

As a fan I don’t really have anything that I stick to on a regular basis. I used to get a Louisiana Hot Link from the Say Hey Sausage Specialties shop in Center Field before every game at AT&T but since becoming a season ticket holder that has fallen by the wayside due to budget concerns.

I’m a pretty hyper-rational person. I hate superstitions.

The only time we listen to the national anthem is if we are at the game. During ’02 there was a period of time where everytime I heard the anthem on the radio the Giants lost so to this day the radio gets turned off during the anthem.

I’ll do a rally cap if I’m at the game. If I do anything else superstitious at home it’s just to play around.

I always punch he person who tells me I can’t watch a baseball game during a no hitter/perfect game b/c I didn’t see the first 6 innings.

I used to go out of my way to step on the foul lines when either taking the field or coming off the field.

Mine:
Always bring a glove to the ballpark. No matter where I’m sitting. View reserved, all the way down the leftfield line, i will have my catcher’s mitt on at all times.
Rally cap rules: rally caps will be used with the Giants hitting in the 9th inning or later, with the game tied or the tying run on deck, at bat, or on base. Can’t waste the magic. Back of cap folds to front, cap goes sideways on the right side (brim straight up, mohawk-style). Used to be into the flipped rally caps, but that wore out its magic. Might go back if we have a few more like last night.
I don’t talk about a perfect game or a no-hitter in progress(duh.) Additionally, I won’t talk about a hitter with three legs of the cycle.
Always have a mojo meal. Cha-Cha Bowls are .800 for me this year. Garlic fries are .250 after last night, so I think that’s my last Gilroy for the year.
I also have the Slumpbusters… they’re bright orange Dickies work pants. I wear them most of the time if I’m sitting in the bleachers, but if we’ve lost three straight I make a point to wear them. If the streak runs to five, I try to wear them watching the game even if I’m not there, and if we lose ten in a row I’ll sleep in them.
As a season develops I’ll generally have to add a few. If there’s something I do and we win, I’ll generally try to keep doing it until it stops working. Homemade omelettes in the morning before day games was last year’s main one.
