A rally possum...???
Apparently...
The HQ did the story on the "Rally Monkey" during the 2003 World Series between the Angels and Giants. The effect of showing a capucin monkey on the video board in Anaheim had a disproportionate amount of success for the team in the year. Troy Percival and John Lackey really didn't have a sense of humor about it. Rex Hudler did...
And the HQ appreciated his taking the story with a grain of salt and running with it...
Now, we may have a suitable mascot for the nasty stadium in Oakland
This happened last night before the A's extra inning win over Tampa
A's starter Jeff Samardzija thinks the possum would be a good mascot:
"We're going to have to give him a name, get him a jersey," Samardzija said after the game. "We've got to keep feeding him."
