Summary

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 humorist 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 the floor. He yells at the TV. 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 fan confessional, Seely shares the basics, from juju for the beginner, to advanced juju, to the deepest, darkest formulas of this age-old art.--From publisher description.
