Ron Santo And That Damn Black Cat…
I don’t believe in hexes or hoaxes or jinxes. But if you ask any of the players on the 1969 Cubs or Ron Santo about the night that a black cat crossed his path as he stood in the on-deck circle and you may get a different reaction.
What resulted next was one of the biggest flops in major league history – a heart breaking tale for all Cubs’ fans! The hated Mets, who were down close to 10 games, put it into over-drive and slowly pushed past the Cubs all the way to the World Series title.
