And then tonight, I'm PU, and the batter hits a deep fly ball towards the fence. Yep, you see it coming. F8 kissed the fence. Hard.

Is it bad style to start carrying a rabbit's foot in your ball bag? Sheesh, it's only Monday!

You were not hurt in any of the situations you mentioned. I'd say luck was on your side.

As Jim Evans would say: Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.
