Game 5: Too much beer?
October 23rd, 2009, 7:47 am · 31 Comments · posted by Sam Miller, The Orange County Register
What a game! Our photo slideshow shows the Angels’ clubhouse staff cleverly jinxing the Yankees by delivering the celebration booze to their clubhouse:
What it doesn’t show is the most lasting image of the night. Here’s Juan Rivera halting play. “Uh, guys, there seems to be an intruder on the hitter’s backdrop.”
Indeed, it’s a man who, in order to get on TV, has decided to pretend his 6-year-old son has been carried away by a giant balloon run out onto the rocks behind center field.
And as quickly as he came, he disappears. Underwater.
In 20 years, when we recount this playoff series, what will we call this man? Nickname suggestions in the comments, please.
Update: Whatever we call him, we now know his real name. And here’s the video, while it lasts:

We should call this guy Aqua Angel!!!
This guy could not have been drunk. For him to stand there with arms raised high and not fall down proves he was not drunk. Gutsy stupid act on his part. Hope it was worth it for the Yank me Monkey.
MR. COMMERCIAL BREAK. THIS IS BETTER THAN WATCHING COMMERCIAL.
THE BAPTIZED ANGEL!
Mr. jacuzzi rally-man !!
You had to be there to see if. Everyone cheered himm on!
Rally Drunky
Scuba monkey!
i agree with aqua angel
Yankee’s Fan… (they need to bathe)
He WASNT drunk…and he WASNT an Yankee fan….:(
Hydro-Jose did the Angel Plunge into Cervera Lagoon
if he wasn’t drunk, maybe Cervera wanted to dive for a Cerveza to get that way. I don’t think he found such a stash however.
Ohhhhhhh……….Jose……………. can you sink……….by the dawns’ early light, what so proudly we hailed by the twilights last gleaming………………
This was pretty epic, and I love the Rally Drunkie and Scuba Monkey names. It was actually funny that they showed it on television, most of the time they don’t show these things to ‘discourage’ people from doing it.
Having Jose be the Aqua Angel between an inning would be much more entertaining than animated baseball races. His problem was timing. Don’t do it in the middle of an inning… entertain the crowd during one of those 3-minutes TV breaks!
If I remember him at all (doubtful) it will be by the same name we all called him last night: fool
I thought to myself instanly, The “Dunkin Joe Nut” Then I said “Wait what was his name, Jose, There it is crime solved , THE DUNKIN JOE NUT”
I doubt that John Lackey enjoyed the extra time sitting in the dugout while this Aqua Nitwit had his moments of infamy. Did it occur to anyone that maybe that contributed to Lackey’s problems in the next inning?

No Lackey’s problem is he cry’s about every call..He is a hot head. We need Aqua Angel to the rescue!
if the umps didn’t squeeze the strike zone in that last inning there never really would have been much of a problem or reason for him to get upset. but he was still pitching well and probably could have gotten that last guy out. oh well we won!
I say hire that guy! He will only get paid in beer though.
I think Fred wins it with Scuba Monkey.
put a ralley monkey suit on him Aqua Monkey
Idiot …would be a an appropriate name. I realize it was funny but it only confirms we live in the reality “look at me” T.V. mentality. So he was on national T.V., as what? the idiot who managed to get on the rocks at Angle Stadium.
Next time, work hard and try to be one of the guys in a National Play Off Baseball game, instead of the guy who ground it to a halt.
Good Luck with your career Jose, you’re going to need it.
I know, I know, let the attacks commence.
Nobody will remember this in 20 years. We’ll be too busy trying to trade our body parts for a drink of clean water and bite of soylent green.
I vote for whoever came up with RALLY DRUNKIE.
Names:
Rockpile Warrior (my fave)
Halo Seal (think - you will get it)
Pond Monkey
I personally think it’s awesome. The guy will face a misdemeanor charge only, which is basically a slap on the wrist. He wasn’t naked. He wasn;t drunk. Just basically being a small distraction. Others who would streak or run on to the field take note: wear clothing, don’t be drunk, and don’t resist arrest. You will get a hand slap only.
Yeah, I read the other link. I almost automatically love this dude for doing that shit and not being drunk. I’ve thought about it but only after 40 beers and still decided against it. That’s the thing. I think we all have.
I still vote Rally Drunkie. My friend called him that and we just burst out laughing. Everyone at the Goat went nuts over it and were rolling around in sawdust. It was the funniest scene ever. I wish I had a video of them watching that dude.
Goodness, I work with this guy. He is responsible on the job so I am amazed that he did this sober.
This may come as no surprise but his work area is about 100 feet from San Diego Bay.
