I was always told that the superstition is based on the idea that Judas, the bad disciple, was the 13th man to sit down to the table at The Last Supper. I think a more rational superstition would be to fear bad disciples.

人们告诉我，这个关于数字13的迷信来自叛徒犹大。他是那个坏信徒，是那个在"最后的晚餐"中第13个坐下的人。我觉得与其迷信13， 不如迷信"坏信徒会带来厄运"，这样更理智些。

Gross. Gross. Gross. In the spring of 2009, in fear of the Swine Flu, high schools all over the country forbade their athletes from shaking hands after the game. Pretty sure "not spitting on the bat" was implied.

好恶心，好恶心，好恶心！在09年春，由于害怕猪流感的传播，全美的高中禁止运动员们在赛后握手。我很肯定他们也同样禁止了往球棒上吐口水这事儿。

And speaking in terms of basic physics, having a lubricated bat makes for less friction, and therefore, slippery balls … okay, now I'm just out of control.

此外，从基本物理学的角度来讲，一个被口水润滑过的球棒的摩擦力更小，因此击球打滑的几率更大了…好吧，我真是精神病人思维广啊。
