Benny said to Nicole and Michael the next morning. He proudly held up a battered teddy bear. Jessie had made the bear from old stockings back when they lived in the boxcar. “This is Stockings,” Benny told them. “Very nice,” Nicole said, panting a little. She squinted a little against the bright sunlight. They were starting their morning practice by running laps around the playing field. “But why do we need a mascot?” “To bring us luck,” Benny said seriously. “Baseball players always need something to give them good luck. Didn’t you know that?” “Sure,” Michael said. He dropped back a little to keep pace with Benny. “Some players make sure they tie their shoelaces the same way before every game and eat the same thing for breakfast. They think it makes them play better.” Benny nodded. “That’s why I brought Stockings. There won’t be anything else missing around here. You’ll see.” “Whatever you say, Benny,” Michael said with a chuckle. “Are you going to carry him around all day?”
