Gold Thongs, Chicken Parm + Dirty Drawers: Inside Sports Superstitions
Athletes are creatures of habit, and sometimes those habits are just plain weird. In this episode of Last Night’s Game, Amy and Scott break down the most surprising, hilarious, and questionable superstitions in sports. From hockey players who won’t call their mom to gold thongs that "help" baseball players hit better, we’re talking about all the ways routines, rituals, and fan traditions shape the game. In this episode: - Why athletes swear by pregame naps, chicken parmesan, or even... peeing on their hands - What fans are doing that might actually affect the outcome (looking at you, Buffalo table-jumpers) - College traditions, locker room routines, and food superstitions worth stealing - Why you might want to build your own lucky airport ritual (Starbucks and peanut M&Ms, anyone?) Even if you’ve never watched a game, this is the episode you’ll want in your back pocket for small talk season. Other episodes you might enjoy: Follow us on social between episodes:
