Peoria Chiefs first baseman Russ Canzler starts his day at Perkins Family Restaurant in Peoria with a Tremendous 12.
Outfielder Alfred Joseph doesn't step into the batter's box until he draws a cross in the dirt by home plate.
Left-handed reliever Jeremy Papelbon doesn't like other players touching his glove on days he might pitch.
What Chief story this year would be complete without a quote from the manager?
"If I'm out eating lunch I always look for pennies, a good luck penny, that I'll put in my pocket that night," Chiefs manager Ryne Sandberg said. "If we happen to win I'll put it on the shelf and then put it in my pocket the next night."

This story about the sale of the SWING was from May 26.
A “productive’’ meeting won’t necessarily lead to quick action involving the proposed sale of the Swing of the Quad-Cities.
Midwest League president George Spelius said the league’s transfer and expansion committee had many questions answered during its meeting earlier this week with Dave Heller and Bob Herrfeldt, who head the company that is attempting to purchase the Quad-Cities’ Midwest League franchise.
However, Spelius said a vote of the league’s board of directors might not take place until its regularly scheduled business meeting is held in conjunction with the Midwest League All-Star Game on June 18-19 at Kane County.
“It could go to that point before the board is asked to vote,’’ Spelius said. “We had a fine session, a productive session, and we went into a great deal of depth.’’The groups met Tuesday in suburban Chicago, and Spelius said the committee adjourned without making a final decision.
