Randy Arozarena brought his lucky cowboy boots with him to Seattle.
During the introductions to the 2023 Home Run Derby, Arozarena walked out in style, wearing his iconic lucky cowboy boots to saunter down the runway. If you aren’t aware of Arozarena’s tradition, the Tampa Bay Rays outfielder has a pair of lucky cowboy boots that have been with him since 2017. Arozarena even took batting practice ahead of the World Baseball Classic in his cowboy boots, which ultimately lead to Mexico’s surprise upset of the United States in the round robin.
While Arozarena didn’t wear his cowboy boots to bat during the derby itself, he certainly looked stylish during his introduction!

And hey, the lucky boots paid off! Arozarena advanced to the second round of the Home Run Derby after besting Adolis Garcia in the opening salvo. Later, Arozarena even brought them out during the final round of the night.
