Transcript

Look, baseball players are weird. We love our superstitions. We love our gimmicks. Our egos are huge. And we love everything to be just so. There are an infinite number of stories of baseball players just doing weird stuff. These are the top 10 weirdest baseball players in history. At number 10, we have Turk Wendell, who pitched for a handful of teams in the late 90s and 2000s. He was a very superstitious man with a list of gimmicks including brushing his teeth between innings, slamming the rosinag into the mound before facing hitters, chewing black licorice, always wearing an animal tooth necklace, waving to the center fielder, always drawing three crosses on the mound, hopping very high over the foul lines. That that one makes sense. You don't want to take chances. At number nine, Hall of Famer Wade Bogs. Bobs was also very superstitious. You're going to see a theme here. He ate chicken before every game, woke up at the same time every day, did batting practice at 5:17 every day, and ran spritz at 7:17 every day, which is during the game, didn't want the announcer to ever say his number or the same socks every game, and took exactly 150 ground balls before each game. He sounds pretty committed to me. He was also an avid Miller Light fan who on a cross-country flight drank at least 60 beers.
