Will Marlins’ ‘Rally Cat’ become a good luck charm?

Don Cattingly? J.T. Realmeowto?

Those were just a couple of made-up names the Marlins placed in a social media poll a day after a feline visitor made its way onto their Home Run Sculpture.

The question now is, will the Marlins’ new “Rally Cat” fade into oblivion much as it did after it ran away from its rescuers after Tuesday night’s home opener?

Or will it join the likes of the “Rally Monkey” or the “Rally Squirrel” in the pantheon of baseball’s animal good-luck charms?

“The first thing I thought was maybe it’s bad luck, and then I said maybe you’re here for some reason,” Marlins left fielder Marcell Ozuna said.
