You may be wondering...what exactly is Rally? Learn about him from Rockford’s finest, the Burpee Museum of Natural History ⤵️

One fateful day, excavating the dugouts, a construction crew discovered strange fossils! They called the Local Burpee Museum of Natural History paleontologists to investigate! 

“These fossils are of a distant relative of early Ceratopsians like Psittacosaurus! This is the first Ceratopsian, even first dinosaur found in Illinois!” The scientists brought back the well preserved fossils to the Musuem and found that it had rivet-like horns on its skull, hence the name Rivetsaurus! 

Now through the power of Science, geneticists brought the Rivetsaurus back to life! Turns out The Rivetsaurs were big baseball fans! The Rockford Rivets took it in and taught it the ways of sport, becoming the greatest baseball player in 66 million years!

You can see some of the distant cousins of the Rivetsaurus at the Burpee Museum of Natural History!
