Did you know?

Did you know that in 2000, when the Los Angeles Angels MLB team were trailing the San Francisco Giants 5-4 in the bottom of the inning, the video board operators decided it was time to monkey around?

They took a clip of the monkey from the 1994 Jim Carrey movie, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, added the words "RALLY MONKEY!" on top of it and showed it at the game.

The Angels then scored two runs and won the game!

The video became so popular that the team hired their own monkey (Katie) to star in the new rally videos. Katie, the white haired capuchin monkey, stills jumps around with her "Rally Time" sign at every Angels' game.
