Eddie Bennett (November 19, 1903 – January 16, 1935) was an American batboy for the Chicago White Sox (1919), Brooklyn Robins (1920), and most notably for the New York Yankees (1921–1932) where he was also served as the team's mascot.
During his career as a batboy, Bennett saw his teams capture nine pennants and four World Series titles. Considered by many to bring good fortune, Bennett was deemed integral to the rituals of players on the team, developing a particularly close friendships with Babe Ruth, Urban Shocker, and Miller Huggins. Bennett served as mascot and batboy until 1933, being forced to retire after sustaining injuries from being struck by an automobile. Two years later, Bennett died of alcoholism in 1935.
Despite being regularly featured in new publications and considered, the "most famous mascot in the world" at the time of his death, Bennett largely drifted into obscurity for the next hundred years from the start of his career.[1] At the turn of the 21st century Bennett's career received renewed interest and study where some have lauded his contributions to his team and baseball.
