Bad Omen?

A black cat rolled out of a mat at Shea Stadium Sunday and may have reversed the fortunes of the two teams playing.



My favorite part is the slow motion replay when the cat gets flung in the air by the mat, and his legs got nuts like Wile E. Coyote's for just a second.

In 1969, at Shea Stadium a black cat made its way onto the field and crossed in front of the Cubs' Ron Santo in the on deck circle.

After that incident on September 9, the Mets went to on to win the division by 9 games and win the World Series. The Cubs haven't been in the World Series since.



As Tony Kornheiser said on PTI, he's not sure if it's a good omen for the Mets, but it's definitely a good omen for the kitten.
