Rally cap

[1] The use of the rally cap rose to national awareness during the 1986 World Series when the New York Mets were playing the Boston Red Sox.

In the sixth inning of that game, the television cameras showed certain Mets players in the dugout wearing their caps inside-out.

Generally speaking, the belief behind the rally cap is to sacrifice a small amount of one's dignity in exchange for a little luck for one's team.

In Detroit, the superstition began with Nate Robertson chewing massive amounts of bubble gum, sometimes so large that they barely were able to stay in his mouth.

The "rally shoe" initially garnered some attention as a yellow Birkenstock on a Seattle Mariners fan's head on October 8, 2022.
