Athletes being superstitious is far from a new thing. I’m sure there were athletes<\/a> during the ancient Olympics who were making sure they put their left sandal on first or had to eat the same number of olives before every event.<\/p>\n

But Texas Longhorns<\/a> softball star Hannah Wells has a superstition I have never heard of.<\/p>\n

I’m familiar with the idea of ladybugs being lucky. I’m not familiar with the idea of them needing to be consumed to get that luck.<\/p>\n

ESPNW shared a promo for a Longhorns softball game as the team worked its way to a run at a national championship, and the clip focused on freshman pitcher Hannah Wells and her habit of downing any ladybug she finds for good luck, something that dates back to her childhood.<\/p>\n

Which is good. If it was a new thing, that would be weird.<\/p>\n

Alright. Go ahead and eat whatever insects<\/a> you want if you’re going to immediately hit a dinger afterward.<\/p>\n

I’ve never heard of this, and what if there’s actually some serious mojo that comes with eating a ladybug? Imagine seeing a ladybug, checking over your shoulder to see if anyone is watching, eating it, then going and buying a scratcher.<\/p>\n

The best that can happen is it works, and the worst that can happen is you’re out a couple of bucks and get a little extra protein.<\/p>\n

And hey, don’t sleep on eating bugs<\/a>. I ordered a shot of mezcal at a Mexican joint once, and it came out with a cricket (I think it was intentional). I ate it, and it wasn’t half bad. It was no ladybug, but I still kind of felt like if I had to take an at-bat in a company or church league softball game, I’d be kind of dangerous.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns defeated Tennessee on Monday<\/a> to move on to the Women’s College World Series, where they will take on Texas Tech.<\/p>\n

The series gets underway on Sunday, and Texas Tech better start praying there aren’t any ladybugs in the dugout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
