Brass Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I have quite a few, some normal, some weird:-The right skate always goes on before the left one. Same for gloves.-Kiss the toe of my stick. (I'm the only person on my team who still uses a wood stick. Sherwood PMP 7000!)-Shin pads have to be cold, but dry. If they're wet, I won't put them on.-I need at least 3 minutes of silence before a game, but after I get done with my equipment. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

sc49erfan15 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 When batting, when I first step into the batter's box, I dig my left cleat into the dirt twice, then my right cleat twice, then I have three semi-mock swings while lifting my left foot. It's just a habit that gets me used to being there...and it's not quite Nomar-ish...it only takes about 5 seconds. When shooting a free throw, I spin the ball back to me three times while lifting my left foot, dribble twice, and shoot. Again, it's to get me oriented (center my qi? ) and it only takes about 5 seconds.I also prefer to wear mismatched knee-high socks to match whatever uniform I'm wearing. (Example, my church basketball team wore orange jerseys with white numbers...I wore one orange sock and one white sock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 For hockey:- Gotta have Big League Chew(Outta Here Original)...no questions asked(although i didn't have it today, and I had 4 goals in a 9-2 victory)- I always wear baseball socks, either my blue ones, or preferably my black ones. - I usually have my cutoff Mighty Mouse shirt on under the jersey- During warmups, I don't wear my helmet, just a backwards Angels hat...usually my "Brown Marlin" Franchise hat.- I also never stretch for some reason...never pulled anything. *knocks on wood*For baseball:- I have to have my pants perfect...I have them stop basically at my knee, socks the rest of the way.- No batting gloves- I wear my glove halfway off my hand...like at the bottom knuckle of my thumb. I don't know why I do this, but I'm a good fielder, so I don't question.- In the field, I usually sprint out to the outfield...kinda like John Rocker- When walking to the plate, I hold my bat by the end, then slide it until my hand reaches the handle. To better explain, think of a lightsaber from Star Wars...that's kinda how it looks, I suppose- If I start doing badly at the plate(which was practically every time), I'd talk to my bat and usually end up hitting myself in the helmet with it.- Also, when coming to the plate, I tapped my toes, Nomar-style.- I also stand swinging the bat like a pendulum below my waste until the pitcher goes into the windup, then I bring the bat up and tip it once(like Sheffield/Bonds), and go from there.....maybe this is why I was such an awful hitter. I was always one of the top fielders on my team though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtCarp Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Before I watch a Braves game, I always eat a hot dog: Ketchup if we're facing a righty, mustard if we're facing a lefty. Sort of like Tommy Lasorda's old ritual. The reason I am on this earth-Nicole VaidisovaBarack and Roll!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
