Baseball players are among the most superstitious of any athletes.

In his latest edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson explains how fans of the National Pastime can be just as superstitious, including someone he knows very well.

Reading Baseball is a series of essays and commentaries by Richard "Pete" Peterson, author of Growing Up With Clemente and the editor of The St. Louis Baseball Reader.
