hats and hats and spaghetti spaghetti
I don't normally wear hats because I have a relatively small head and I kind of think I look stupid in them. HOWEVER, I was in San Diego a few weeks ago and I randomly bought a San Diego Padres hat at Walmart for ten dollars. Here it is:
I kind of love this hat (but I'm not IN LOVE with it though). It fits me pretty good, it isn't too boxy or too floppy, and it covers my head.
Since then I've been on a quest to buy another baseball hat--this time a nice one. I want to get an old school Mariners cap like the Griffey's are rocking here:
OR, one of those or the all-green Oakland A's hats would be pretty dashing:
So, the other day I head to my local sport-hat store and unfortunately there were only two options:
1. The "5950" hats that stand roughly a foot tall off your head and come with the flattened bills with giant stickers on them that dumb kids leave on for some reason. I can't wear these given the size of my head, or maybe I'm just not cool enough.
2. The floppy, dirty-looking hats that Red Sox fans seem to favor. These ones go much too far to the broken look, so much so that the bill is pre-bent into a taco shape and the crown is a collapsed parachute.
Can't there be a good middle ground? Come on hat makers! Not everyone can be a 14-year-old aspiring rapper (category 1) or a 54-year-old stock broker going to a ball game with one of his clients (category 2).
