Community Picks: Atlanta Braves 0% vs St. Louis Cardinals 0%

The saga of the St. Louis Cardinals “rally cat” — or “rally kitten,” if you prefer — appears to have taken a happy turn on Friday after the team announced the missing kitten had been located. The St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach reported spotting and rescuing a kitten overnight in City Garden that appeared similar to the kitten who famously took over Busch Stadium moments before Yadier Molina’s game-winning grand slam on Wednesday night. The same group says it’s now “confident” it’s the same cat we saw scratching and clawing at Busch Stadium grounds crew member Lucas Hackmann as he attempted to safely remove it from harm’s way.

On Wednesday night an adorable kitten wandered onto Busch Field and quickly became an icon. Immediately after it was removed from the field the Cardinals hit a grand slam, courtesy of Yadier Molina — but it’s at this point the story gets weird. Initial reports said that the Cardinals took the cat to the Humane Society, where it would be safe -- but on Thursday morning they denied they had the cat, presumably after dozens of people called to adopt Rally Cat. Early Thursday afternoon the Cardinals explained precisely what happened in a statement. Here is the version of events, as told by the Cardinals: Ground crew member retrieves Rally cat. Gets bitten.
