Looks like soccer is dangerous too (video title misleading. That’s not what happens)

The Randy Johnson bird was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Rally Bird joins the likes of Rally Monkey and Rally Squirrel.

Rally Monkey (Los Angeles Angels – MLB)

A famous unofficial “mascot” for the Los Angeles Angels baseball team. When the Angels were behind late in games, a video of a monkey dancing (often with a “RALLY TIME!” sign) would appear on the scoreboard, and fans embraced it as a good-luck charm.

Rally Squirrel (St. Louis Cardinals – MLB)

During the 2011 postseason, a grey squirrel ran across the field at Busch Stadium and became a good-luck symbol dubbed the Rally Squirrel. Fans embraced it as an unofficial mascot and it became part of that Cardinals’ World Series run.

Wasn't there a black cat that was running around the field at a baseball game a few years ago? I think it was in NY?
