When the Los Angeles Angels baseball team is losing, they’ve got a strange and funny way of rallying the team.
A rally, in this case, means when the fans and players on the losing team get themselves all fired up so they can try even harder to win the game.
For some baseball teams, fans use “rally towels” to try to help them rally. A rally towel is a white towel that fans bring out when their team is losing; they twirl the towels over their heads. The team sees all the white towels and realizes that the fans are behind them and want them to win.
For other baseball teams, fans wear “rally caps.” A rally cap is simply a baseball cap worn inside-out and backwards. It’s the fans’ way of saying, “Let’s go, team! We can win it!”
But the Los Angeles Angels may have the strangest way of rallying the team. They have a rally monkey.
