What is the history and origin of the rally cap and rally monkey?
This might be an unpopular position to take in 2025, but this show, trying to zig while others zag in 2025 is trying to take baseball back to being segregated. Jeremy is doing a pitch clock segment that exists sort of by itself outside of our show in a space where people insist on talking baseball. I'd like to talk about the baseball. I'd like to talk about just the American League East, not just the Rays, but the Orioles. But nobody else wants to talk baseball here. I don't have the only baseball conversation I can get going is Joe Maurer. Is he a Hall of Famer? That is where that is where Stu Gatz and Greg Cody want to talk. So we are putting Jeremy alone with baseball at the end of this hour.
And if you want your baseball, it's going to be good baseball. The Yankees start every game by hitting four home runs. And the Dodgers are scoring 17 runs a game. And underachieving, according to Billy.
You come for all the latest baseball news, you stay for me whooping that ass in trivia. Right.
And the Mets have the best team in baseball.
The Padres are better and the Mets are not the best team in baseball. I don't know why you would say the Mets are the best team in baseball. You're a Mets fan that doesn't know who their shortstop is or what he looks like.
Right.
When quizzed on Francisco Lindor, you're shown a picture of him and you're like, who that is.
I mean, the Mets do have the best record in baseball, do they not? Do you think they're the best team in baseball? They're 21-10 right now. They're the best team in baseball. Tied with the Dodgers. Yeah.
Is Lindor a Hall of Famer or a Hall of Famer? Hall of Famer.
What does that mean? He's a Hall of Famer. I didn't understand.
Not a Hall of Famer.
Oh, he's not? Wait, what? Okay. Hall of Famer. He's a mere Hall of Famer. Yeah, that mere Hall of Famer was something. Marginal first ballot. Chris, are you aware of how much your father hates your hat?
I know, yes. He does the thing with the upside down. He also doesn't like when hats are on backwards. Did that hat not come with directions? He's wearing it backwards.
That's a good line. That's a good line. Not a good line. It is. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is it a good line to say to backward hat guy, did that cap not come with instructions?
Why is wearing baseball caps upside down a popular trend?
Yeah.
That's another one your dad's been using for a long time. Since Ken Griffey Jr. was making, since the kid was making people mad at 19 years old, this Hall of Fame voter has been going, hey, Ken Griffey, hey, Jr. Calling him Jr. derisively. Hey, Jr., you mere Hall of Famer. That cap, did it come with instructions? He's a Hall of Famer, Dan.
What's the backward cap thing, the upside down thing?
I don't know, man. It's just a trendy thing. I think it looks kind of cool.
You know what would be a good trend for hats? Instead of the upside down declaration on the front there, wear the cap upside down. Like a rally cap? Yeah, the dome of the cap goes on your head and the bill is up here. Try that just for a second. That's okay.
See what that looks like on your head. It's more than head sense. Did the Angels invent the rally cap or was that invented in college baseball? Who invented the inside out rally cap? Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Did you know that the inside out baseball cap was known as a rally cap? Put it on the poll as well. Do you know who invented the rally cap? And going back to what we were talking about before, did you know that hands down was a horse racing term?
It was the Mets in the 80s. That's what I'm seeing here. There are some different reports. The Giants of the 70s.
I'm seeing it's the Giants of the 82 season that are credited with popularizing it. Popularizing it. I said that weird.
Yeah, you did. Keep it moving. I don't remember them doing that, but okay, very good. I guess the Angels are probably... I guess the Angels had the rally monkey.
