28 January 2299 - Catman Cat Scratched
With a tinge of irony, the cat man, Salem first baseman Dan Catman, has been diagnosed with "Cat Scratch Fever," also known as felinosis.
Catman complained to Witch Hats team trainer Alex Mencos somewhere around January 13 of an illness after being attacked by one of his 32 cats. The cat, identified appropriately now as Spawn, was found to be teeming with the bacteria Bartonella henselae in tests by a Curie, Inc., scientist.
Catman was transported to Vault 81 where he is receiving antibiotic treatments for the disease. There is no timetable for his return, but Mencos estimates it will take at least a month for Catman to heal.
