Yankees Will Have To Wait To Celebrate As Angels Win

Posted On: Fri Oct 23, 09 11:30 AM

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)—Mere moments after the Los Angeles Angels unleashed their leaping, screeching, rambunctious Rally Monkey on the scoreboard, they erased a late deficit and saved their season.

Surely that monkey business was just a coincidence. He’s just a marketing gimmick, a video star and a plush toy—right?

Not to the fans who watched it happen Thursday night in the latest improbability of an AL championship series game. Not to the Yankees, who were three innings away from tickets to the World Series before the Angels snatched them away with a 7-6 comeback victory that cut New York’s edge to 3-2.

“Anything is possible, man,” Angels outfielder Torii Hunter said. “Baseball is a crazy game, man. You see some crazy things. Every time you come to the game, you’ve probably been to 1,000 games, and you see something different every year.”

Kendry Morales drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single in the seventh inning as the Angels responded to the Yankees’ six-run comeback moments earlier with a three-run rally of their own, each hit more improbable than the last.
