An untold side of the Cubs' black cat jinx—50 years later

Fifty years since a black cat infamously sprang in front of the Cubs dugout at Shea Stadium, a new side of the tale has emerged.

I was a 14 year old kid and watched that game on TV. I cried when the Cubs were eliminated that year.

Goes to prove that when people believe in a myth it can impose itself into reality.

Leo did burn out his players also. But the myth is more suited to Cubs lore than common sense.

Crying over baseball as a 14 year old kid that should have been learning about girls.

No wonder you turned out so horrible.

Did I bust your fantasy bubble? Sorry but back then players were driven like horses and the grind beat them. That is why in current times pitch count and off days have become more mainstay.

If you want to place blame on a cat cool. More power to you. Horseblinders are fashion designer Mainstays

Achilles Last Stand
Led Zeppelin
It was an April morning when they told us we should go
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Oh, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
Slipping off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss
The devil's in his hole
Oh, to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh, to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Into the sun, the south, the north
At last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh, to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowds, yeah
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns…

The Rain Song
Led Zeppelin
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oh
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Talk talk, talk, talk
Hey, I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so
Oh, but I know
That I…

Immigrant Song
Led Zeppelin
Ah-ah, ah!
Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
W'ell drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ah-ah, ah!
Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only…
