2019 Medusas de Lakewood (Copa de la Diversion)

MLB's National League Division Series starts tonight and while last year around this time I was hate-watching the Dodgers and hoping they would lose simply for schadenfreude purposes, tonight I'm hoping the Dodgers lose because it would give the Giants a perfect win record against them in the playoffs as this series marks their first ever postseason meeting!

I was admittedly very stressed out last week because the Giants had yet to clinch the division yet somehow right now I'm even more unnerved because of the gravitas of this impending series against the Dodgers so I decided the best distraction would be to write about a Copa de la Diversion cap and have tasked this 2019 Lakewood Medusas hat for the job.

Medusas is the Spanish word for jellyfish which makes sense considering Medusozoa is the latin-based term used to refer to any of these closely related species of aquatic animals. And you really have to give Brandiose credit for making this gelatinous menace look even more terrifying with that scowl and the bat clenched in its tentacles.

This is the week in a row that I'm extolling the virtues of purple although this week, I'm fully committed to the bit with an all-purple crown! 

I really like the sky blue in the batterman here but I think the pink from the front of the cap could have worked as well. As much as I love this one, I might need to pick up the 2021 Medusas de Lakewood cap which features a white "rail" style crown and a pink brim which really makes it pop


Before signing off, I have to confess to something that's not too serious in nature but still embarrassing: I chose the Medusas de Lakewood cap to be this week's Fresh Fitted Friday selection because up until today, I was convinced that the logo was of an octopus and would therefore be the perfect cap to write about on October 8, which is World Octopus Day.


I hope you enjoyed this week's mellow and somewhat informative post and that when I come back for next week's communiqué that I'll happily be reporting that the Giants are advancing to the NLCS! Until then, I'll just be over here biting off my fingernails one by one. No worries!

This week's Fresh Fitted Friday selection is not going on the Trading Block however please don't hesitate to reach out if you want any other cap from that list and you are willing to part with any of the hats on my Wish List.
