Who are the biggest bad luck charms in Major League Baseball? Is it the guys who have missed the most playoffs? Lost the most World Series? Never made the playoffs? In this video I lay out a set of criteria to see if I can track down the biggest bad luck charms in MLB history, and decide on a single player as the king of them all. What's crazy is, more often than not, these bad luck charms are household names and legends. So, who's at fault here, and is baseball just a sport of pure luck at every level?
