Dodgers Fans Share Superstitions Ahead of World Series Game 3

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare for Game 3 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, fans are turning to cherished superstitions and rituals to cheer their team toward victory. The intense belief in luck and fate around Dodger playoff games has sparked conversations among supporters about their unique practices.

This postseason, fans have taken to social media to share their quirky habits and items they consider lucky. Some fans, like Debbie, have adopted strategies such as watching only during the Dodgers’ batting but leaving the room when they are pitching, saying, “It’s been working so I’m scared to change.”

Other fans have specific items that hold sentimental value. Shobebe Auntie has kept the Dodgers sweater worn during the team’s last loss tucked away to avoid any jinx. Meanwhile, Steph is holding onto a 2024 World Series cap, convinced that washing it could derail the Dodgers’ chances.

Weird traditions abound. Fan MG admitted, “My wife gets distracted when I’m watching, and the team seems to do better. She has never seen Shohei Ohtani hit a home run live.” This whimsical approach to superstition is widely shared among Dodger fans, each hoping to play a small part in their team’s success.

With the Dodgers tied in the series, many fans, including Amanda, have made bold claims about their commitments: “Once the postseason starts, I don’t change anything. Normal stuff.” Jason had a similar sentiment, saying, “I don’t say what I believe will happen out loud. I can’t put it out into the universe.”

As the Dodgers continue their quest for another championship, they do so with the knowledge that every move and every belief could play a role in their fate. “Whatever you’re doing,” cautioned a fan, “keep it up. Just four more wins!”
