Last year, Alex added Doug Brocail, which sparked 1500 emails in 10 minutes.

From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:
Hitters will adopt virtually any ritual, talisman or superstition to get an edge: steroids, HGH, greenies, pine tar, high-tech batting gloves, rubbing the barrel of a bat on a bone, extra batting practice, human sacrifice, soft toss, hitting off a tee, watching tapes, calling relatives for swing tips, changing types of wood […]
