There may be many stinky fans come the end of the series as not washing clothes seems to be the most popular superstition.

Here’s a list of some superstitions we came across that still hold true since our 2017 World Series run.

  • Eating the same meals every night - Some fans would rather eat leftovers during the playoffs.
  • Put a lucky hat on your dog - One fan put one of his lucky hats on his dog, and it apparently sparked a home run!
  • Doing the same thing over and over -- Keeping a routine never felt so good.
  • Don’t interrupt when the Astros are at bat -- there’s a reason why the crowd goes silent when the Astros are batting.
  • Don’t do laundry...at least until it’s ALL over -- Hopefully you have an extra Astros jersey.
