9. HISTORY OF THE RALLY MONKEY
The Rally Monkey is an important figure in the
history of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Major
League Baseball team.
The character debuted on June 6, 2000, when the
Angels were trailing the San Francisco Giants 5–4
in the bottom of the ninth inning. Two video board
operators, Dean Fraulino and Jaysen Humes, took
a clip of a monkey jumping around from the 1994
Jim Carrey movie comedy Ace Ventura: Pet
Detective, and superimposed the words "RALLY
MONKEY!" on top of it. The Angels scored two runs
and won the game.
(retrieved from Wikipedia.org)
The Rally Monkey is a symbol of spirit and energy
and each week 1 MC will be chosen by their peers
as the Rally Monkey of the week and get the honor
of displaying the Rally Monkey for the following
week. The person who received the most votes by
the end of the games will receive the “RALLY
MONKEY OF THE YEAR” award.
