VID: Ole Miss Hitting Coach Eats Fire Before Baseball Games

This is most certainly the oddest pregame ritual that I have ever seen.  Cliff Godwin, one of the assistant coaches on the Ole Miss baseball team, happens to enjoy a meal before games.  This isn’t your typical meal, considering Godwin happens to enjoy fire.

Yes, you read that right.  Fire.  Godwin is a flame eater and it’s part of his pregame ritual.  I’m not sure if he’s awesome or if he’s borderline insane.  I would probably guess a combination of both.  I have heard of weird pregame rituals before, but this is probably the most dangerous.  Eating fire is not what we call a safe habit.  in fact, I think we can safely call it an extremely dangerous habit.

As long as Ole Miss plays good baseball, I am sure that this habit will stick around.  If they start struggling, I would probably advise Godwin to find something different.  An upset guy attempting to eat fire would probably not end well for anyone involved.  High risk of burns and disappointment.
