Black Cat, Good Luck. He was booed in Baltimore. In Syracuse one day, the rival team let out a black cat from their dugout as Jackie walked up to bat.

"When they win I want to do cartwheels on top of their dugout," said she, "and don't think I can't. When they lose, my vichyssoise is curdled, to say nothing of my gizzard. Last season I lived on curdled vichyssoise...
