Do you believe in jynxing?

Question

I said that seattle would win vs boston today with 1st and 3rd vs papelbon. this is what my friend says to me after "bottom line is sports fans believe in jynxes and today u jynxed the yanks by having boston win". Common sense tells me that sports are skill and not luck and someone like me has no effect on the game, what do you people think?

Answer 1

No one really believes in jinxing, but baseball fans everywhere add a little bit of superstition to make things fun.  For example- if you step on the white lines before a game starts, it's bad luck.

Answer 2

as a former baseball player i can speak for the majority of them. yes, we are very supersticious people.

Answer 3

last year, i said the mets are going to the NLCS and should start getting ready since they can walk past round one and they had a 7 game lead and all my friendz shouted out in anger and the day after I said that they began losing and the rest is history and now im a believer now in jinxes, but so are most fans

Answer 4

it takes luck and skill

Answer 5

You always need a bit of luck to win baseball games but skill is more greatly needed. When you hit a homerun you need some luck to hit the ball and skill to give the bal some pop so it goes over the wall.
