A lot of guys are out there with their iPods. I'm not one of them. I just never really got into it.
Karch KiralyI had four different colors of hats, one of which was pink. I just got on a roll with the pink hat. So what started out as a superstition grew into a tradition and an easy way for my family to find me at tournaments because I am the only one with cojones big enough to wear a pink hat.
