about the rally monkey

BORN: June 6th, 2000
GAME VS: San Francisco Giants
ORIGIN: With the Angels trailing 3-0 in the sixth inning of a game against the
San Francisco Giants (June 6, 2000), the Angels’ game presentation
staff spontaneously created the Rally Monkey phenomenon. Here’s
how: The entertainment staff members had a video clip of a monkey
jumping up and down in their stock footage and, on the spur of the
moment, decided to put the words “Rally Monkey” over the clip and
show it on the Jumbotron. After showing the clip, the Angels rallied
for a run, so the clip was shown again when the Angels were up in
the seventh and eighth innings. In the ninth inning, with the Giants
ahead, 5-4, the Giants brought in their closer Robb Nen. The Rally
Monkey clip was repeated several more times in the ninth and the
Angels rallied to beat the Giants, 6-5.
RULES: Rally Monkey etiquette requires that the video is only displayed in
the sixth-inning-or-later with the game tied or the Angels behind.
