Spurs have won every single time there’s a bat

I am genuinely surprised that no one has consolidated all of this yet, but it appears that the Spurs have won **every single game** in which there is a recorded bat sighting:

\- 31 Oct 2009 – Spurs v Kings **113**\-94 (the [Manu game that started it all](https://www.espn.com.sg/nba/recap/_/gameId/291031024))

​

FiveThirtyEight covered the reasons for the frequent appearances [back in 2019](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-are-there-so-many-bats-at-spurs-games/) when it was at its peak (3x in a year); the TLDR being that (1) the stadium is in the middle of a migration path and (2) is often an easy warm refuge during the cold months. That said, given the astounding correlation to wins , should the Spurs not…actively attract bats to the AT&T/ Frost Bank Center?
