MLB cap for Stig's big head
« on: January 05, 2016, 01:20:36 AM »
Snowed & rained too many times in the past decade on my authentic 59/Fifty (100% wool) Red Sox hat....shrunk it! My size 8 hat is now a eye-bulging 7 1/2 or so. I can still wear it , but it scares little kids.
Just discovered that MLB.com has a store-wide 20% off deal going thru tomorrow night only.
If you need a genuine MLB cap, this is a pretty good deal. For awhile this eve I thought I was going to have to go with a Chinese script Yankees 59/50 cap from eBay - then I remembered that MLB has a website that I used years ago.

This past fall I rec'd two comments on my helmet size from strangers:
Guy pulling my "large house with room" (house blend coffee please, with room for cream), "Your helmet probably has communication gear in it, doesn't it? It's big!"

Guy walking by me as I got on the Burgman: "That's an awfully big helmet for such a little bike."

 Nolan helmets have two shell sizes, I think. My XXXL is the larger shell size. Works good for me, but looks sorta big - and matches my old XXXXL HJC in fit. However the  Nolan has noticeably less aerodynamic drag than the HJC. It's a big helmet but I do not notice it - often wear it for a couple of hours after I stop for coffee, to keep my head warm on cold sunrises. No one at my coffee village pays any attention to me now as I stay ATGATT'd.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Stig: at least the Red Sox fans have owners who are willing to spend the money unlike us Mets fans. We have the worst owners in all of baseball. Of course the Wilpons got screwed with the Madoff scandel. Even so, this is no excuse to act like a small market club in a big city such as New York. I would be happy if MLB would force the Wilpons to sell the team which would give us better owners. I would be happy if Donald Trump became the owner of the Mets. At least he would hire the right people, and give the fans what they want.

As much as I did not like the cross town rivals, the New York Yankees, at least George Steinbrenner was willing to spend the money on players to win a World Series for the fans. The Mets make an appearance in the 2015 World Series: the owners turn back around and give the fans the bird by not bringing any power hitters they need in the lineup. The Mets should have resigned Cepedes.

I know this is not about scooters, but you mentioned your beloved Red Sox. I had to bring my New York Mets.

No, but lived in Amherst for a few years and watched Yaz play the caroms off the Monster, and Landry quarterback U.Mass. Have been a Red Sox fan ever since. My new "New Era Heritage Series Classic Wool Fitted 59Fifty" came in the mail today!
Big fan of things New England - had many great rides two-up on my Honda - and in our VW Bus when $$ was pretty scarce - but scenery and cities, book stores, music at Tanglewood, Smith & Yale Art Museums and the Fogg were amazing - and cheap.
