Not only was Bennett the mascot of the pennant winning 1920 Brooklyn team before the Yankees got him, but he was the mascot of the 1919 Black Sox! Hap Felsch spotted him outside the Polo Grounds one day and asked him if he was lucky. Eddie said yes and Felsch had him join the Sox and they won the pennant.
