Thursday night a cat simply known as “Rally Cat” made its way onto the field during a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
After the cat made its appearance, the Cardinals put up five runs in the fifth inning. It immediately brought me back to 1969 and the black cat at the old Shea Stadium and ran past Ron Santo in the on deck circle.
The Chicago Cubs entered September of that season 32 games above .500. That team ended up losing their first place lead to the New York Mets after a string of losses.
