I've always been a huge fan of Rally Wally. As a matter of fact, just a quick search through some of my old pictures and I was able to find these:
The first picture is from when Papi hit a 3-run walk-off homer in June of 2006. The Sox were down by 2 in the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 2 strikes...and the power of Rally Wally took hold.
Truth be told, I don't remember when the second picture is from, but we'll just have to assume it was also an epic night.
Earlier today the folks at the Remy Report urged Red Sox Nation to take part in "Upside-Down Wally night"
To all of Red Sox Nation - something MUST be done to stop this slide into oblivion.Did I take part?
So many of you have a Wally, and many even have his chair. Let's get ALL of Red Sox Nation to recognize "Upside-Down Wally" night as the Sox take on LAA.
We will even have Wally upside down and on his chair at Jerry Remy's Sports Bar & Grill. If you are there tonight, be sure to wish luck on Wally, so that he will bring luck to the Red Sox.
What are you waiting for?
Get Wally on his head before the game begins and tell all your friends and family to do the same! The Nation is waiting!
You bet I did!!!!
Here is Rally Wally with the Growler of beer we won yesterday at Boston Sports Blogapalooza.
The Nation responded with plenty of pictures posted to the Remy Report's Facebook page. Go and check them out, and add your own photo from tonight if you have one.
I'll say the call to the Nation has paid off. In the 8th inning it is 17-4 Sox over the Angels. Dare I say I don't even think our bullpen can blow this lead?
Don't make me eat my words........

hey, you should tell the whole story about how the wally-in-the-mouth superstition came about. it looked like the game was about to end, so you gathered up your belongings, and had wally's foot in your mouth, because your hands were full. then, walkoff. now it's a rally tradition.
