Rules for the Rally Monkey


At the risk of sounding like some sort of grumpy old dude, I feel compelled to offer a set of rules for your consideration for the Angels use of the Rally Monkey. While at the 4-3 Angels win over Boston last night, I was troubled by the seemingly random appearance of the monkey immediately following the 7th inning stretch. No warning, no build up, just a monkey. So with that in mind here are my rules for the use of the Rally Monkey.

1) The monkey is not allowed out of his cage until at least the 7th inning.
2) The monkey is not to appear before action has begun in the inning in which the appearance is to be made.
3) If a clever movie trailer parody is going to be used, do not, do not, do not let the monkey be seen prior to that trailer being shown.
4) Always punch the music from the beginning of the use of the Rally Monkey.
5) Do not show an older lady with a stuffed monkey after the showing of the trailer, that is what the hot younger chicks are for.

So far I just have 5 simple rules that will help us all enjoy the craziness that is the Rally Monkey.
