Philadelphia Phillies Look to Sesame St. for Good Luck

[SweetMayhem]

Thought I'd share this bit of info because it's highly amusing. Apparently, during the Phillies' recent road trip, pitcher Roy Oswalt borrowed a trainer's iPod. It was tuned to an Elmo pandora station, and the Sesame song "Do De Rubber Duck" came on. They are now playing it in the clubhouse before every game and went 9-1 on the road trip. Everyone is referring to is as the "Reggae Rubber Duck" song and the reporters are saying that it keeps the players loose. This is not the Phillies' first run in with rubber ducks. Back during their World Series run in 2008, Chase Utley told their manager Charlie Manuel to "Get the rubber duck out of your butt" after a loss. Manuel then bought rubber ducks for the entire team.
