Red Sox Rally Cap
Monday, October 13, 2008
Thanks goodness the Red Sox are still in the League Championship Series, because I've so been wanting to do this post. Though I actually had to ask my mom to tell me when they were winning and losing. (FYI - They are tied at one and one against the Tampa Bay Rays, 3rd game is tonight.) I also wanted to do this post for my friend Amy who loves the Red Sox. I have a great memory of her Dad driving us up to Boston once to go to a game. But we decided to go shopping instead?!?! Sometimes being a girl is like being rolled in frosted flavored lip gloss and dipped in Lee Press on Nails.
I mentioned when we were in Massachusetts that we got Hadley her first Red Sox hat. You know I'm not into sports when the only person I can name from the Red Sox is Carl Yastrzemski who retired in 1983! At least my grandfather would be proud.
But Nana loved Hadley's hat as she is a HUGE Red Sox fan. However, within minutes, she had us all in stitches when we she flipped it around to be the Red Sox Rally Cap. "What the heck is that?" I asked.
From Wikipedia: A Rally Cap is a baseball cap worn while inside-out or in another unconventional manner by players or fans, in order to will a team into a come-from-behind rally late in the game. The Rally Cap is primarily a baseball superstition.
I just like how the masculine hat contrasts with her "Blondie" onsie to produce what I can only describe as a Tom Boy Baby.

I'm pretty sure we went to the game. I think that since my father never bought tickets ahead of time he had to buy from a scalper. So then we had our seats separate from my parents, who were a few rows away. My mother didn't do rally hats, she'd sit on the hat if they were losing. (it'd be getting squished right now) If you don't remember, it's probably because they had a completely unmemorable line-up and probably lost.
I'm sure we went to Faneuil Hall afterwards, so that's probably where your shopping memory comes in.
