If Turkey Underwear Helps, Then By All Means Make a Uniform Change
Tomahawk Take | An Atlanta Braves Blog — ... a pair of undies as his rabbit’s foot, I support him. I support the Atlanta Braves changing the mascot for the entire year to TURKEYS if they can put on a 10-game winning streak. It seems like such a steak has eluded the Braves for 10 years. Apparently, when Fran wears the undies, the Braves are 7-0. I’ll take a seven-game winning streak. The East is so ignorable this season that a seven-game streak could put the Braves in direct contention. AJC story

As luck would have it, Francoeur without 'turkey underwear'
Sports Page Atlanta — Jeff Francoeur didn’t wear his much-discussed “lucky underwear” with the turkeys on them to the ballpark Tuesday. The Braves right fielder said the Braves are 7-0 when he has worn them to the ballpark, including Sunday when they beat Boston 2-1 to avoid being swept. Francoeur said after Sunday’s game that he would wear the Thanksgiving-themed briefs again Tuesday, for the first time on back-to-back game days (the Braves were off Monday). Alas, he and his wife, Catie, went to the lake Monday, and Francoeur said the briefs were still in the washer when he got home at noon ...

We are firm believers in superstitions, and have the utmost respect for players who have them. But the way to make your lucky underwear unlucky in a hurry is to discuss it. Keep your superstitions quiet, people. Your team will thank you ...
