Our guest tonight is the new manager of the New York Yankees, Casey Stengel, but before you meet Casey Stengel and person here is, real one. Profile of a jinx. You realize that one of the strangest jinxes that sports has ever known has been the jinx connected with Time Magazine.

No sooner do the pictures of sports celebrities appear on the cover of Time Magazine than And these same sport celebrities seem to run in a bad luck. This jinx has been going on for 18 years, where it began back on October 5, 1931.

On the cover of Time magazine appears the picture of a famous race horse named the Cavilcade. Cavilcade is one of every important race, including the Kentucky Derby. After Cavilcade's picture appears on the cover of Time magazine, the horse never wins another race.

The jinx marches on. July 13th, 1936. On the cover of Time Magazine appears the picture of Joe DiMaggio. That same week in the All-Star game, Joe DiMaggio gets no hits in five times at bat, makes two errors, and loses the game for the American League.
