Superstitions

by Match Day 5 on Oct 16, 2009 9:16 AM PDT Comment 95 comments

Baseball, perhaps more than most sports, seems to inspire a lot of superstitious behavior: pregames routines, behavior during games, relationships between teams, etc.

We have just overcome one superstition (losing to Boston in the playoffs) and are about to face another one (beating the Yankees in the playoffs.) What I'm curious to know is what are YOUR superstitions involving the Angels? What do you do before or during a game to help connect to what's going on on the field and to help the Angels win?

Is there a routine that you follow for games? For important games? Something you do when you attend a game live? Something you do when you watch a game at home? Some superstitions pop-up in game threads such as not discussing a possible No-Hitter or jinxing a batter by calling for a hit in a crucial situation but these are pretty common and kind of innocuous. I want to know the superstitions that make your friends and family roll their eyes at you. The more ridiculous the better.

I'll start:

Usually, I'll start with wearing an Angels related shirt for an important game. This postseason, the HH Panther shirt, the Rally Rat shirt and my Angels Baseball Club 1961 shirt (today's choice) have brought success. Also, I have put my LA Angels hat (with the halo around the top) and my '80s trucker-style mesh hat on top of the bedroom TV. They will stay there throughout the playoffs. My red A hat (the current model) is with me when I watch but I have discovered that it is bad luck if I wear it during a game. Finally, I 'acquired' a brand new baseball at the local highschool field a few weeks ago that I gave to my 6mo. old son. I've made sure that he plays with it during the game and that seems to have brought success.

My superstition

I have to drink beer during the whole game and all night after the game.

For like, good luck, or something

sounds weird maybe stupid but

for important games I drink beer in cans as opposed to bottles or glasses. It seemed like when I’d get stuck drinking from cans Angels would win so I’ve got a brand new pack MGD cans.

I take that back… I’d have to SHOTGUN the beers in cans to make them drinkable! ;)

My yet-to-be-determined hypothesis of what may materialize into true superstition:

The last time I left the country for a job was in August 2002. I recently left the country for a job this past August 2009. If something great happens this year, well…

Just to be safe, I’ll drink beer from bottles and cans, during and after the game, to avoid any jinx…

They lose whenever I wear the white jersey.

For the post-season, it’s the 2009 ALDS T-shirt.

Every time I've worn my White Jersey this season

the Angels have won.

However, it wasn’t always this easy. Every game I went to in 2007 wearing my jersey, I saw a loss. Every game I watched on the tele while wearing my jersey was a loss.

Maybe this is the season of overcome curses (excluding the Yankees).

Jersey

I wore my jersey for every game in the ALDS. I’m wearing it again today and will keep wearing it all postseason. Haven’t washed it yet because I don’t want to wash the luck out. I also wore it to all 4 of my trips to the stadium this year and they won all 4 games, including Torii’s 3 homer game and the game against Seattle where Santana gave up 8ER and the Angels rallied to win 9-8. Lots of good vibes in this jersey.

My superstitions

1. I rarely wear Angel gear after a win.
2. I do wear Angel gear, almost to obnoxiousness, after a loss; especially a bad loss.
3. I rip up my ticket stubs on the way out of the stadium, unless it’s a Hooters free wings night.
    I have only one stub left from my 1995 season seat year and I kept my three World Series tickets
    (2002 G1, G6 & G7) and I also have Jered Weaver’s minors debut and ML debut ticket stubs.
4. Never discuss no-hitters UNLESS it is the pitcher for the other team. Just the other day, Lester
    was going pretty good and I yelled out for all to hear: “Lester’s throwing a no-hitter, how about
    that?” Then, some fool next to me says, “Hey, so is John Lackey.” Bang Lackey’s no-no was
    gone about 5 seconds later and then the next half-inning, I made sure to make even more
    noise about Lester’s no-hitter and what do you know … it was broken up shortly thereafter.
5. Never wear the same hat to successive games. I change the hat and shirt/jersey combination.
    If they won wearing one configuration, I make sure not to use it again.
6. If I take a friend to a game and any number of games in a row and the team loses, I stop
    inviting that friend to go with me. My wife was on the wrong end of that and I didn’t take her for
    months. As it ends up, she was with me for a few wins this year (including ALDS G1), so she
    is off my “bad luck” list.
7. When on game threads, calling out a home run for the Angels before it happens means that
    it will not happen. I don’t say “Reggie Willits will hit a home run in this situation” as it would
    surely jinx something that has no right to happen anyway. Let the magic happen magically.
8. I rarely GLOAT about the Angels. Last time I gloated was in calling Howie Kendrick something
    really special when arguing with an anti-Angels poster last year. Next thing I know, Howie was
    in the dumps earlier this year. So, that is why I can bet against the Angels at times and be
    hesitant about predicting their victory in a series. Usually when I doubt them, they come through
    with a serving of crow. If I am smug and assured, they lose.

I love this team.

I don’t say "Reggie Willits will hit a home run in this situation" as it would surely jinx something that has no right to happen anyway.

Apparently someone has said that every time he has come up to bat. :-)

It gets tricky when the wife gets involved

I have a friend who wouldn’t let his wife stand up/sit down if the Rams were playing well or about to score or whatever. I use the past tense cause they don’t do those kinds of things any more.

Dress Code

I’ve got my red jersey on today. But I’ll have to take it off before the game starts.

My superstition is I can’t watch the game. My sister calls me and lets the phone ring once for every run they score. If the phone doesn’t ring, I will avoid any media as to not get further in the dumps. If it rings a lot I might peak at the game, but I can not watch the other team at bat under any circumstances.

2. white calvin klein undershirt
3. baggy cargo shorts
4. champion (i didn’t realize how symbolic that was at first)
5. KEY: california angels socks w/red toes and red heels. this was to confront the obvious of playing the red sox while wearing angels red socks.
6. gross part: i didn’t wash anything including the drawers until after game three to cleanse and start the karma over.

This is pretty post-season 2009 specific

but I woke up to watch games 1 & 2 of the ALDS and put on my Figgins t-shirt, and we won. Game 3 I work my 2002 Anaheim road jersey (£8 on ebay!) all day and through the 5th inning. I realised we weren’t playing well, and said to AmyAngel that I was going to go and put the Figgins shirt on as it had obviously brought luck in games 1 & 2. Lo and behold, from the 6th onwards the hits started falling in.

So tonight I’ll be busting out the shirt again, needless to say it hasn’t been washed :)

I’m not 100% sure, but neither of us can remember going to a game that the Angels lost.

THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!

Mine, it's simple.

1. NO BETTING! My boss at work is a huge Red Sox fan and asked me if I wanted to put a bet down. I never have and never will bet on the Angels.

2. I only wear my Angel hat in the freezer at work (Keeps my hoodie hood in place). Started doing that shortly after the whole Tampa Bay fiasco and it’s been working. Last week I worked the freezer and wore my Angel hat, if I got pulled, took it off. See, easy.

This team is our extended family, That's why we love them no matter what the record, no matter what the score.
