A black cat is sitting in front of a TV with the world baseball classic game on. Brazil is in the field and the second baseman is about to make a catch. The cat is pawing at the guy in the field.

1926 WORLD SERIES
St. Louis NL 4
New York AL 3
The Cardinals of Rogers Hornsby made their first Series appearance and upset the Yankees in the third straight 7-game classic.
A Redbird hero was Ol' Pete Alexander, in his first Series since
1915. He won two games and rescued the finale by fanning Lazzeri with the sacks jammed. Ruth slammed' a record three homers in Game 4 and his four for the Series was the entire Yank output. Pennock won two more for the New Yorkers and Haines took two for St. Louis. The Cards' Thevenow led at bat with .417.

Chinese Taipei's fans have brought over 40,000 fans to every game here at the Tokyo Dome, including a 15-person band featuring eight trumpeters, four trombone players, and two saxophonists. This is so fun.
