Q: Being a softball player, do you have any crazy superstitions you've held on to through the years?

A: Before games where we're at home, I can't hit in the batting cage. I have to have my wristband on my right arm. When I get up to bat, I have this certain little ritual I go through, spinning my bat and drawing a cross for trust in Jesus Christ in the dirt.
