The Minnesota Twins are no stranger to unique home-run celebrations. They introduced a fishing vest and toy fishing pole to the dugout last season. This year, a summer sausage has become the object of their affection. Hitting coach David Popkins brought it into the dugout last week and beckoned his players to tap it before their at-bats. The Twins followed with a flurry of big hits. They took the cured meat with them on the road and have since stretched their win streak to 11 games after the sausage returned home safely.

A 6-year-old house cat from Utah likes hiding and playing with cardboard. The combination of the two made for a stressful trip in an Amazon package that led to a California rescue and a tearful reunion. Carrie Clark says her cat went missing on April 10 without a trace. She got a call seven days later with news the cat had been found in a box of work boots that had been returned to an Amazon warehouse in California. Clark realized the cat must have jumped in the box as her husband prepared to return several pairs of boots that he had tried on. Clark says the fact that Galena was microchipped and that Amazon workers called a co-worker who rescues cats helped get Galena back home safely.
