Minnesota Twins' Rally Sausage Fuels Winning Streak

The quirky dugout talisman has become a symbol of good luck, leading to multiple game victories.

The Minnesota Twins have embraced a summer sausage as a dugout talisman, sparking an eight-game winning streak.
Initially introduced by hitting coach David Popkins, the sausage is believed to bring good luck, with players tapping it before at-bats.
Despite concerns about its perishability and health risks, the sausage has traveled with the team, even raising concerns about passing through customs.
The team plans to continue the tradition, with efforts underway to source fresh sausages for upcoming series.
Manager Rocco Baldelli and players have noted the positive impact on team morale and performance, attributing their success to the 'rally sausage'.
