Description

In this episode we discuss one of Stephanie's favorite questions for guests, superstitions. Listen in as we discuss our superstitions, as well as some MLB players. We also included some common baseball ones.

• Never step on the chalk lines coming on or off the field.
• Never talk about a no-hitter or perfect game when a game is in progress.
• Repetitive batting stance rituals.
• Flipping a rally hat inside out to start a rally. Generally applies to fans. It brings good luck to a team in the last inning.
• Leave the pitcher alone, or not talking to, on the day of the start.
• Lucky bats, gloves, socks, pants, or anything you were wearing during your big game win.

On Deck: Diana discuss her tips, tricks, and camera recommendations for taking the best sports photos.
