Superstition and baseball often go hand-in-hand. Whether it's fans refusing to move from a specific spot while watching a game for fear of negatively affecting their team or a player sticking to a rigid routine after a good game, there's plenty of examples of superstition in the game.
Retired MLB starting pitcher CC Sabathia has one such example involving his former New York Yankees teammate—Hall of Fame shortstop Derek Jeter. Sabathia shared a funny story of an experience he had with a superstitious Jeter during an appearance on the debut episode of the 6-1-1 Podcast, a show featuring former Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins and first baseman Ryan Howard.
