Supernatural forces are nothing new in baseball. From the Curse of the Bambino to the Curse of the Billy Goat to not talking about no-hitters as they happen, superstition and belief that extends beyond the logical are parts of the game.
That apparently extends to the hope that sleeping at a funeral home will turn around a slump.
New York Yankees left fielder Clint Frazier revealed in a story by Seth Berkman of the New York Times that he thought living in an apartment above a funeral parlor would help him break out of a slump he was stuck in during the 2016 season when he was on the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
