New York Cubans from Topperz USA. If it isn’t clear yet, I feel like Topperz put out my favorite Negro League hats last year. Ty’s are right there, though! This peanut color is one of my favorites of any hat. It doesn’t wash out a pale face like mine and goes w almost anything.

LidsHD recently released hats marking milestones in Jackie Robinson’s life. It’s a wonderful collection. The one I chose commemorates his time in the Army. I love the camo UV & the felt-like visor, and the stitching of the years is a cool touch. Great details & super wearable!

Birmingham Black Barons, from Topperz USA. Simple but elegant, and the metallic silver just jumps off the black crown. I picked this up on sale on Monday but have eyeballed it ever since it came out last fall.

Pittsburgh Crawfords by Ty Mathis and Stash1250. Metallic pewter on the front, with copper and silver metallics on the side patch. Satin under. This is one of my favorite purchases of last year, and I bought a LOT.

Baltimore Black Sox by Topperz. I wore this yesterday and forgot to post!

Brooklyn Royal Giants, by Topperz USA. The metallics on this are STUNNING in the sunlight. I wear this one all the time.

Kansas City Monarchs by Hat Heaven! I love this logo with the crown on it, and only a couple of places have put it on a hat as a front logo. I love the color in this one a lot, and have been reaching for it a lot despite having SEVERAL Monarchs hats, as future posting will show.

Today I’m going with this Philadelphia Stars cap made by Ty Mathis and sold at Stash1250 in Chicago. Heather crowns aren’t particularly popular in the fitted community, but I love them. This hat also has a dark green satin undervisor. I really REALLY dig it.

I’m going to make an effort this month to showcase all of the great Negro League hats I’ve picked up. There’s been a ton of quality stuff released, many of which are still available! Today’s hat is from Topperz USA. A fantastic Memphis Red Sox.

Apparently the Philadelphia Phillies City Connect jersey has leaked. (Colors inspired by the city flag.) What… do we think? 🤔

Oh hey btw here’s a story from… let’s see here… YESTERDAY. www.nytimes.com/2024/01/30/u...

Happy Birthday to Jackie Robinson, a legend both on and off the field. This hat was put together as a nod to his time in the army, which ended famously in a 1944 court martial as a result of his refusal to sit in the back of a bus. (Hat from JdTheGhost/Pro Image Colorado)

Anatomy of a Fall absolutely gripped me. Sandra Hüller is mesmerizingly good and Justine Triet brings magic trick-level nuance to the storytelling. It deserves every award nomination and then some. I really hope it finds the audience it deserves in its U.S. release.

To celebrate our new “Leo Durocher Meets Mr. Ed” ep. (take-me-into-the-ball-game.simplecast.com/episodes/tbg... ), I’ve been wearing this fitted from HatClub - the Snoop Dogg “Doggystyle” Dodgers from their TITANICALLY popular Aux Pack. Fantastic color & super wearable. An absolute gem of a hat. 👍

Our first episode back is an extended look at “Leo Durocher Meets Mr. Ed,” a truly incredible piece of television. We recorded this one a while ago, and it’s truly one of my favorite things we’ve ever done. Check it out , rate & subscribe! take-me-into-the-ball-game.simplecast.com/episodes/tbg...

Folks, it’s been a long time, but Take Me In to the Ballgame is back! Happily now teaming up w Pitcher List, we’ll be bringing new eps on baseball films & TV on the regular. We’ll also be rereleasing past eps for those new to us! Listen & subscribe here! take-me-into-the-ball-game.simplecast.com

I thought I was going to be fully in the bag for Poor Things, but I saw it yesterday and was not a fan. Lots of brilliant elements that didn’t come together for me. It felt strangely devoid of stakes, I was rarely (if ever) moved, and found myself somewhat bored by the story.

It’s slushy and gross in NYC today, aka the perfect weather to wear this Edmonton Trappers hat, which is pretty easily the strangest, most unique fitted that I own. It’s bonkers & I love it. Aside from the shape, it has I believe seven types of camp present. 😂 A MyFitteds gem!

That is my brother in the photo w the Gingriches, and the combination of his amusement with Newt’s profound annoyance makes it easily one of my favorite photographs ever. The fact that it made it into Politico makes me absolutely cackle whenever I think about it.

After a long holiday season, and my first day back to work, I’ve opted to wear this truly badass Hartford Wolf Pack hat. AHL fitteds have started to become a bit more of a thing, and this might be my current favorite. It’s from Topperz USA! Also, hi! Gonna try to be on here more! Hope that’s ok!

I love depictions of the Devil where he’s just a little rascally guy.
