NEW - The Poetry of Fear: Superstitions, Sports, and Conspiracy
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
Why do we cling to rituals that make no logical sense — and why do they feel so powerful? Shane Hewitt and Ryan O’Donnell explore the strange space where superstition meets conspiracy, using baseball as the perfect playing field. From the Chicago Cubs’ “curse of the goat” to the Blue Jays’ supposed jinxes, they unravel how fear, hope, and repetition shape our connection to the games we love. Along the way, they draw unexpected links to daily habits — like clinking glasses or shaking hands — showing how superstition quietly guides us all.
