You don’t win ten straight Major League Baseball playoff elimination games without some luck, and the Giants and their fans are trying to horde as much as they can right now in hopes of escaping the Chicago Cubs and advancing to the National League Championship Series.
The superstitions started in 2010 with rally thongs and dyed beards, then we had panda hats and Hunter Pence shouting “Yes! Yes! Yes!” Now, our first postseason idol of 2016 appears to be a handout towel with the words “Dignity Health” on it.
Derek Law whipped around the rally towel a fan had handed him during a 13th-inning rally that allowed the Giants to survive Game 3.
