Alex just asked me—totally seriously—if he would “jinx” the game if he put on his SF Giants baseball hat.

I am the same way. I am also a HUGE San Francisco Giants fan. Die hard since birth (thanks to me pops). 2002 almost killed me….2010 brought me back to life. 2012….still so far to go. Tell the hubs…hat is a must now for game 3 on Saturday!
HAHAHA! My husband totally just asked me the same thing!
Haha this post is so hilarious and yet so true! This is exactly my husband except he roots for the Oakland A’s! I try to not be around when he’s watching a high-stakes game because if they don’t win, then it’s not a happy household for us all. :)
Go Giants!!! So, for this series, I’ve noticed that the Giants do a lot better if I don’t watch the first two innings. In fact, in game 7 of the NLCS I didn’t watch until the third inning. So, for the WS I’m going to keep up “tradition” (not superstition, heh), and not watch the first two innings.
Giants all the way!

PS: BTW, it’s not just husbands (wife speaking). In fact, my husband chuckled at my “tradition” but now he tells me I mustn’t watch any of the first two innings of the WS. Lol

GO GIANTS!!
I love it! I’m a big SF Giants fan living in NYC. Please let him wear the hat anytime he wants!!!
I am married to an ex-baseball player. He kisses me the same way everyday when he leaves and I once had to stand for the majority of a Cavs playoff game cause they did better when I stood next to the couch.
An hour before Game 6 started, my family happened to be driving by our go-to donut shop. My husband suggested we pick up some “Rally Donuts”.
(Rally Donuts, because we needed to do our part, of course. Take some donuts for the team.)
I started eating my favorite coconut cake donut in the second inning (that was the big inning of the game). Every time I took a bite, we got a hit or scored. The Giants were playing awesome, and definitely(!) it was due to the Rally-ness of the donut.
Soon, I was in a panic that my donut would run out. My husband was yelling, “Save some for later!”
Huh? With one bite left, I froze up, not knowing if I should finish the donut.
The batter got out, the inning ended. But it was enough. Thank God for that yummy little donut.
Sports bring out the superstitions in my husband too! We’re huge Giants fans so the past few weeks have been stressful. He and group of fellow fans are convinced our house is “lucky” so all games have been watched from our living room. They all wear the same pair of underwear (clean or not!), eat food in the same order, high five in the same order…
My husband is really superstitious about sports! At one point during a Stanley Cup playoff game he decided to stand in the laundry basket, and when they scored he decided he had to stand in the laundry basket for the rest of the game.
as we were watching the game last night, i asked my husband why the players don’t smile after they hit a HOME RUN, for goodness sakes?! he said, very seriously, that you canNOT celebrate until the game is over…no jinxing. crazy hoo haw.

Go Giants! Thanks for the good luck, Alex!
I love that baseball fans (and players) (okay, baseball people) are so superstitious. I think we are more superstitious than other sports fans. :) Not sure what it is.
I am so glad he put that on! (sorry if he jinxed your team…) Go Giants!
