I was wondering if anyone had any. I thought they were stupid and quite immature when I started playing. My first game went well as I stepped on to the field in the top of the first, at the end of that inning I had made 2 catches in the outfield. So I approach the line and decide to jump over it. I havn't stepped on that line to this date. Another weird thing I do is before every game I buy a pack of Juicy Fruit Blue, if it is a home game I pop one in right away, when that half inning is over I spit it out and waite until we take the field. If and only if we are winning the game and it is the top of the 7th which is how many innings we play I pop the rest which should be 6 in my mouth and when the game is over I spit that out. If it is an away game I waite until the bottom half to eat a peice and do the same thing if we're winning in the bottom half, if we are losing I throw out the remaining 6 peices because come on...they're bad luck:happy:. I want to know what your superstitions are but I will read them tomorrow morning because it is getting quite late...:yawn:

It is probably more related to OCD than superstition, but before every game, I have to tie and retie my cleats right then left shoe.
Also, I wrap all of my wooden bats with an orange wrap tape. Any other color I wont use.

I put baby powder in my jock before every game when it's hot and humid, it helps with the comfort factor. Other than that, I don't do anything unordinary.
