Talk:Rally cap

This tradition led to the Angel's "rally monkey" and no lie it worked when scott spiezo hit that home run it was almost divine

This article was wrong
The rally cap dates back way before Mets fans wore them to a game in 1985. Little leaguers have been doing this for years and obviously a new yorker is trying to take credit for something they didnt have a part in starting. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.9.20.233 (talk) 21:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC).


 * I dropped the insignificant example of Mets vs. Boston -- we don't need to start a list of examples of fans who wore the rally cap. I added a note about Little League players, which may be the situation in which most people first encounter this tradition. Chris Loosley (talk) 08:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The Mets vs. Boston example is the first documented instance of players wearing a rally cap, and is the incident during which it rose to national prominence (as it coincided with the ball rolling between Buckner's legs.) A Google search reveals weblogs of journals of Mets fans wearing rally caps to games in 1985.

I would like to see some documentation of the 1945 Tigers claim before it is accepted as a legitimate use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grunionspawn (talk • contribs) 03:15, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
