ICYMI – Superstitions and the Psychology of Baseball Fandom

Bob Addison joins Shane Hewitt to dig into the emotional world of baseball fandom — from deep-rooted team loyalties to the superstitions that shape every game-day ritual. They explore why fans cling to habits that feel like they influence the outcome and how those beliefs connect to identity, belonging, and hope. From Blue Jays debates to Mariners memories, the discussion highlights how fandom reflects broader Canadian culture and how rituals, even irrational ones, can make the game more meaningful.
