It's always bugged me to hear that John McGraw was said to have carried a small piece of rope from a lynching "for luck"
I first heard this during the Ken Burns baseball series many years ago and I think of it often when looking at his cards (i'm a HOP "as a player" collector so it's not an issue with McGraw)
But still...
