Wicked Awesome Hat Wednesday

Over at the old site I used to have a fun little game I played called "Gay Song Wednesday". This was a big hit despite the protests I got from a lesbian New York Yankee fan. I wanted to get away from the "Gay Song Wednesday" game, and introduce a new section called Wicked Awesome Hat Wednesday. I have an unhealthy obsession with hats. To date I have more than 100 ball caps that fill 2 55 gallon rubber maid containers, a garbage bag, and a 22 place hat rack that is in my closet. That rack is for the 22 best hats I have in my rotation at any give time. From day to day I may change the rotation, but for the most part I have my standard 6 Cleveland Indians hats, 3 Cleveland Browns hats, 2 Ohio State hats, and a host of other obscure minor league baseball and college ball caps. With this in mind I would like to launch Wicked Awesome Hat Wednesday, or WAHW for short.

The 1st hat for WAHW has to be something amazing. I had to look deep in the recesses of my mind to find a hat that really got me rolling in hat collection. I believe my unhealthy obsession began sometime around 7th grade during the height of the Starter Jacket and Raider cap craze. As an avid hip hop fan I did have a Raiders cap with silver block lettering, that screamed ghetto even though I hailed from a town with 1 stop light, and a 99.85% white populace. Anywho, the hat that got me started wasn't a Raiders cap it was a 1969 Montreal Expos cap with multi-colored panels. This hat essentially looked like a clown hat, and was the furthest thing from ghetto fabulous. The 1st time I rocked this was at a 7th grade dance I borrowed it from my brothers friend Alex, and it was met with much fan fare and adoration. Mostly from dudes, because chicks didn't pay any attention to me in middle school. So today I give to you the 1st installment of Wicked Awesome Hat Wednesday "The 1969 Montreal Expo's Multi-Colored Cap"
