Superstition has been a part of baseball from the beginning. From
good luck charms to human mascots to ritual statues of Babe Ruth to
the curse of Colonel Sanders, there may be almost as many
superstitions as players (or fans). Drawing on social science,
religious studies and SABRmetrics, this book explores the rich
history of supernatural belief in the game and documents a wide
variety of rituals, fetishes, taboos and jinxes. Some have changed
over time but the preoccupation of coping with uncertainty on the
field through magical thinking remains a constant.
