The habit gets a new name.
Christian Walker’s superstitions are all about finding a spark. He’ll try anything to get an edge, from shaving his facial hair to emulating his teammate’s shower routine. He’s not alone in his superstitions, but some of his habits are a bit more… unusual. Like, who else mirrors their teammate’s shower routine?
Walker’s superstitions might be weird, but they seem to be working. He’s on a mini heater, and his latest performances show that the slump might be ending soon. But is it really the superstitions that are making the difference, or is it just a coincidence?
Either way, Astros fans won’t care what Walker’s doing before first pitch if he keeps hitting.
Superstition is just a fancy word for “trying anything to win”.
