Frank Gray - Superstitious validations?

Everyone that follows sports knows of certain habits the fans and players adopt during the season to give them a feeling of an advantage. These are called sports superstitions. It is something that helps to bridge the gap of interaction between players and their fans. There are many stories of superstitions around the world of sports.

Fans will wear the same jersey every football game day or sit in the exact same seat at the stadium and eat the same foods in sequence as the last time they attended just because the team won that day. The oddity of the fan superstition knows no boundaries. It defies logic, tact and even fashion. Take the rally cap for example.

It was popularized by New York Mets fans during the 1985 season and was embraced and used by their players the following season during the World Series. Is it fashionable? Not really. Does it make the fan look good? No. In fact, it makes them look stupid. But that's not the point, is it?
