Cliff Lee isn't superstitious

Most baseball players, especially pitchers, are very superstitious. If they have a no-hitter going, no one acknowledges it. In fact, the pitcher will sit alone in the dugout because no one wants to talk to him and say something to jinx the no-hitter.

But new Philadelphia Phillie Cliff Lee, who was traded from the Cleveland Indians? Well, he doesn't care about that kind of stuff. His manager, Charlie Manuel, told Baseball Prospectus (subscription required) of Lee, "A lot of guys might have put pressure on themselves coming over here, but it doesn't faze him at all. His first game with us, he had a no-hitter going through five innings at San Francisco. Well, you know the superstition about not talking about a no-hitter, but he comes in the dugout after that fifth inning and says, 'Hey, I've got a no-hitter going.'"

Pretty cool.
