Superstition trumped mother nature in the Yankees clubhouse:

Chamberlain, who made his first appearance of the postseason in relief of CC Sabathia, said he was up in the clubhouse. As Brett Gardner reached on his infield single and Derek Jeter followed with a RBI double, Chamberlain and some of the Yankees support staff were watching on TV. Once the rally started, it was decided that no one would move from their positions until the inning was over. To do otherwise might throw off the Yankees karma.

There was only one problem. “I had to pee really bad,” Chamberlain said. “It was getting to the point where” – he paused for a second, searching for the right words – “I was going to have to figure something out,” he finally said without an ounce of apology.

The team winning trumps everything when you’re in distress.
