Unlike the Angels’ famous Rally Monkey from the early 2000s or an actual Rally Squirrel that ran onto the field during a playoff game and inspired the St. Louis Cardinals during their 2011 World Series-winning season, the squirrel that appeared on the field on Friday did not spur the Yankees, though it did delight the fans.
