I MUST HAVE IT!
« on: July 21, 2019, 08:53:51 pm »
I am not a fan of all the special hats that almost all teams issue for seemingly everything theses days...

However, these Astros-Apollo 11 hats are freakin' awesome!

I'm with you.  Don't usually go for the commemorative stuff, but this is one I want.  I also think the ASG caps with the stripes are magnificent.

Our of curiosity, have the Astros said why they didn't have the moon landing party on Saturday...you know, the anniversary of the actual moon landing?
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

No need to boost attendance on a Saturday. $$

Not sure I want this one, but the All Star cap is great!

I ordered the all-star hat the night of the game.  It’s really cool looking.
Boom!

I'm the other way around. I like the All-Star cap okay but I'm afraid the piping would look goofy on my head.

It ain’t the piping.

I bought the moon cap.

I thought I was following this thread pretty good until a minute or two ago. Now I'm not sure what the hell's going on.

? No doubt this is a slam, but I am too dense to see it.

Moon. Apollo 11. I suppose that is the context.

Context being what you were talking about and the previous discussion.

If there was a post without a title or other info that said

"It ain’t the piping.

I bought the moon cap."

I'd be concerned that the poster was Fredia/on drugs.

...and now they're all gone. I guess I won't have it after all. Maybe they will re-order because of high demand.
