A friend of mine and I were talking the other day about Al Hrabosky,
"The Mad Hungarian", who would stomp off the mound before each batter,
stand talking to himself for a few seconds, then pound his hand in his
glove, stomping back to the mound to pitch.  Made him look rather crazy.

My question to the net:  what are other players that have gone through
rituals like this?

Certainly Dave Conceptcion crossing himself qualifies.

Please *MAIL* me any fun quirks/habits you know, and I'll post a summary
later on.
