Time to Rally

Break out those rally caps, the Bo-Sox need some help!! Coincidentally, in researching the origin of the rally cap, come to find out that the boys from Bean Town are at the heart of the inception of the rally cap. According to the obvious online experts at rallycap.com, the Rally Cap was born during the 1986 World Series when the New York Mets were playing the Boston Red Sox. The Mets were losing Game Six and already down 3 games to 2 in the series; it seemed almost certain that the Red Sox were going to be the 1986 World Series Champs! In the 7th Inning of that game, something amazing happened; the Mets all started wearing their caps inside out while sitting in the dugout. Catching on, the fans also started to sport their caps inside out and called it the "Rally Cap".

After that, the Mets rallied back and went on to win Game Six in the Tenth Inning-forcing a Game Seven. Then, in Game Seven, the Mets found themselves falling behind again by a score of 3-0 and in need of a little more magic. Once again, the players and the fans put on their Rally Cap. The rest is Baseball History; the Mets rallied back to win Game Seven by a score of 8-5 and became the 1986 World Series Champs! (Boo!!)

So, in keeping with apparent Bean Town history, c'mon Boston fans, flip those hats inside out, and lets get a little of that rally cap mojo working our way this time.
