This dedicated Giants fan hasn't washed his favorite jersey since 2010

By Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman

Tuesday night during the All-Star Game, Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon revealed to the broadcast that he wasn't superstitious, but rather just "a little stitious." 

Blackmon not having any bizarre superstitions probably makes him an outlier in a sport full of them.
For instance, we tracked down a particularly superstitious Giants fan before the All-Star Game who claimed to have not washed his jersey since before San Francisco's World Series Championship in 2010. That's eight whole years of wearing the same jersey to every game without washing it! 
Watch our interview with this legendary fan to hear his explanation for such intense dedication.
