Baseball superstitions are deeply ingrained in the game, with players believing that certain rituals or habits can influence their performance. These can range from wearing the same socks during a hitting streak to avoiding specific actions, like stepping on the foul line. Famous examples include Yogi Berra’s belief in "not talking about a no-hitter" and David Ortiz’s habit of tapping the bat on the plate before each pitch.
