Cal Raleigh ends 0-for-38 streak with unorthodox superstition involving his full uniform

Published

After Cal Raleigh walked, struck out and flied out in his first three plate appearances Tuesday, his hitless streak stretched to 38 consecutive at-bats.

The Seattle Mariners’ catcher, who was the runner-up to Aaron Judge in the American League MVP vote last year after hitting 60 home runs, had Major League Baseball’s longest single-season hitless streak since Craig Counsell went 0-for-45 in 2011.

But in the top of the seventh, Raleigh finally broke out of his slump, singling to center field. He stayed hot in the ninth, singling to left.

Derek Jeter once famously wore a gold thong, at the behest of Jason Giambi, to break out of an 0-for-32 slump — he homered with it on.

Raleigh didn’t quite reach that mark, but he did have an unorthodox way of helping him break out of the slump.

“Logan (Gilbert) gave me some good advice to wash off the bad mojo or juju from the baseball gods,” Raleigh said.

How exactly did he do that? Well, pitcher Bryan Woo was the one who initially told reporters that Raleigh showered in full uniform Monday night.

“So yeah, it worked. He was right, so I got to give him credit where credit’s due,” Raleigh added.

“We were all screaming for him and it was a lot of relief for sure and I know it felt good for Cal,” manager Dan Wilson said.

Getting out of the slump did not come without some pain, though, as Raleigh naturally took a foul tip near his manhood.

Raleigh led the American League with a Seattle-record 60 home runs and 125 RBIs last season. But he’s batting just .166 with seven home runs and 18 RBIs in 40 games this year.

But he is now 2 for his last 2, and we all know what he can do when he does get hot.

Margaret Cho blames Trump and ICE for missing out on hit HBO Max series

Published

Actress and comedian Margaret Cho blamed President Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for missing out on a role in the hit HBO Max series “Heated Rivalry.”

“Last year, I got a pilot script for a show that I really loved, but it shot in Canada,” Cho told the “I Never Liked You” podcast last week. “And I was so scared because I’m so vocal about hating ICE and hating this administration. I was like, I will get detained at the border and I will be put in ICE detention if I go.”

Cho confirmed that the series was the 2025 sports romance show about two professional hockey players played by Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams who form a romantic bond while playing for rival teams.

She added that she has since become a fan of the show and the woman who played her part. Cho also suggested she is looking to potentially appear in its second season.

“I’ve watched it. I’ve hosted some rewatch parties, and I’m like it kills me, like it kills me because of Trump,” Cho said.

Fox News Digital reached out to HBO and ICE for comment.

Cho has been among many celebrities who have attacked Trump in the past, calling him “abhorrent” in 2015.

Earlier this year, Cho recalled being asked to appear on Trump’s show “The Apprentice” because Trump was reportedly “a fan” of her comedy, which she found “weird.”

“I was asked several times to be on it, season after season, and they kept saying, ‘Well, Donald Trump really loves you. Please come on,'” Cho said in March. “I just had a bad feeling about it, because I did go on one of the challenges because my friend Cyndi Lauper was competing one year, and so she did something at a diner, so I went, and I helped out.”

She continued, “I was at the diner, and so I was part of an episode, but I never actually was a contestant, but I was asked several times because Donald Trump was a fan.”
