[size=12pt]2 Texas prep baseball players probed in chicken deaths[/size]

BENBROOK — Police in the Dallas area are investigating whether two high school baseball players sacrificed chickens in a bid to improve their games.

Police in Benbrook, Texas, say a 15- and 16-year-old "engaged in acts that caused the death of two baby chickens. It appears that superstition relating to a slump in baseball performance could have played a part."

Western Hills High School baseball coach Bobby McIntire says he has not had a chance to talk to the students about why they did it. He told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that "baseball is very superstitious" and the idea possibly came from movies they say.

School officials say the boys have been kicked off the team.

Ya know, YOP! When I saw this story, I was thinking the same thing.

"Man, don't throw to me, my girlfriend put a hex on my glove."

I thought that came from "Major League".  You know, when Sorano is trying to sacrifice a live chicken so they get him a bucket of KFC instead.  Two great movies, one sad story for a couple of chickens.

Crash: Well, Nuke's scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live... is it a live rooster?

We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present. Is that about right? ... We're dealing with a lot of sh*t.

Larry: Okay, well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.
