For context, you have to keep in mind that there is probably no sport where superstition reigns like in baseball. These guys are constantly adjusting personal habits (shaving, changing underwear, etc.) based on how many hits they had or how many strikeouts they got.
"Oh my god, I had a 3 hit day, must be these new sunglasses!!!"
It is insanely ridiculous, but that's the way it is for many players and coaches.
Fans are just a stupid about it. "Call it a No-no, don't say No-hit*r, or you'll jinx the pitcher".
Natslaska, you may be in the minority on this board regarding "law of averages", but I assure you I am in the minority regarding my total contempt for superstition's place in baseball.
