Title: Sometimes A Guy Just Needs A New Lid.
Post by: stroh on May 07, 2007, 01:22:23 PM
So, I got me one.

New Era. Fitty Nine Fitty. Minnesota Twins.  Classic "M" logo.  7 1/4.

Will go great when I take Maddie to a game this year.

No gay blue and yellow. Nice cap.

Edit: sorry thinking of the Brewers. Still nice cap.

Walfredo goes through a new lid every week.

That is a nice "m" though.

Sweet!

I purchased one this spring with the TC logo. First Twins cap I've bought since I was a kid.

Thanks.  They switched to the "M" and the pinstripes in '87, and promptly won a World Series, then followed it with another in '91.

In the mid to the late nineties, the left it, and went straight into the tank.

I've always liked that style.

Maybe the Rangers should change to an "M" also, maybe then they wouldn't suck for once.

My head is not actual size.  We complement each other in so many interesting yet non-specific ways.

I was gonna raise that same point in the ass-less chaps suntan thread.

Sadly, when I saw the thread I thought the same thing.

MFAWG is a fan of 2 toned 59-50's, which are almost a thing of the past.

The all wool 59-50 really IS a thing of the past, FWIW.

Sounds like I'll be buying lids at Brooklyn Flannels from now on...

Nice hat, stroh!  I, too, like the M logo.  The TC was okay (actually, I didn't like going back to it at first; it took about 1/2 the season to get used to it), but I like the M better.

New Era does have 100% wool caps on their site for a "limited time".

Someone asked me earlier this year - that if I HAD to root for an American League team, who would it be?  After professing over dead bodies and the like.....

I answered the Twins, on the condition you get a real stadium to play in  ;)  Saw a game there once - just too weird.  Not a lot of people there, but there were having fun.

Never having watched a game in an outdoor stadium, I didn't realize how nice that is.  Then came last year: went to a Saints game, and the difference was so noticeable (besides the obvious major/minor league difference).  I like the HHH Metrodome, but being outside does add another dimension to the game.

Now you just have to be a Vikings fan too. ;)

It's coming. Supposed to open for the 2010 season.

The dome absolutely stinks for baseball. I remember going to the Old Metropolitan stadium when I was a kid. Nothing special but it was outdoor baseball.
