From an award-winning humorist, a touching memoir and manifesto that reveals the deep secrets of fan jinxes, hexes, and charms
Did
you know there is a secret to winning ballgames? It's not the players,
managers, money, or luck. It's juju, and no one knows it better than
Hart Seely. Seely has spent a lifetime practicing the art of juju from
his living room. "And winning ballgames for the New York Yankees." He
paces floors. He yells at defenseless TVs. He rallies the team like
Churchill addressing the collective British soul. But what he is really
doing is harnessing juju energy to influence the outcome of games. "And
it works."
In this uproarious, unforgettable fan confessional, Seely
shares the basics of juju for the beginner--"Setting the Table," asking
for a called strike instead of a walk-off homer--to advanced
juju--"Bringing the Neg," predicting bad events to keep them from
actually happening--to the deepest, darkest formulas of this age-old
art. Along the way readers come to know Hart and his hilarious band of
fellow juju practitioners, a secret club of friends whose fandom bonds
them across decades, not to mention won/loss columns.
Nostalgic,
heartwarming, and laugh-out-loud funny, "The Juju Rules" is a memoir of a
life well-lived in service to one's team that shows how love can be a
powerful passion in the best way.
