Field of Magic: Baseball's Superstitions, Curses and Taboos
John Cairney
Drawing on social science, religious studies and SABRmetrics, this book explores the rich history of supernatural belief in baseball and documents a wide variety of rituals, fetishes, taboos and jinxes. Some have changed over time but the preoccupation of coping with uncertainty on the field through magical thinking remains a constant.
