Maybe the Cleveland Indians should sign Kira the cat.

During Game 7 of the World Series, the spry feline tried to prevent a Chicago Cubs home run by leaping at the ball.

Alas, the cat was not successful and the Cubs jumped ahead in the final and decisive game of the World Series.

While Kira didn't help Cleveland, she did get owner Amanda Steiner plenty of attention on social media.

Let's make this happen, Ellen. Let's make this happen.
