I returned from my trip to Colorado just a few days ago feeling recharged after reconnecting with longtime friends and places that are deeply meaningful to me. As I mentioned in the first post of this "Homecoming Series", Colorado was my college home in between my childhood years in Virginia and the ones when I lived in the Bay Area before I finally came to New York.
The third post in this sequence is the last before the All-Star break and it connects three of the four places I have lived thus far as it is the cap worn by David Wright—who like myself, was born in DePaul Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia—when he represented the New York Mets in the 2007 All-Star game which was held in San Francisco.

| I am glad the Mets chose their black hat for that game because the minimal amount of blue and slight bit of orange pairs beautifully with the side patch. |
 |
| I've stated many times the 2007 All-Star Game hat is my favorite one ever and if this cap was my size you can be sure I would wear it often to games at CitiField. |
 |
| Unfortunately, 7 1/8 is just never going to work on my noggin so hopefully someone out there has one in 7 3/8 that I can scoop up. Even better would be if we could do a straight-up swap! |
 |
| The tiny hit of orange on the MLB batterman closes the loop beautifully. |
This week's Fresh Fitted Friday selection is too small for me and sadly must go on the Trading Block. If this is one you have been hunting, please reach out if you want it (or any other cap from that list) and are able to part with one on my Wish List or perhaps have something you think I might like.
As always, thanks for coming back to read about baseball hat geekery. If you'd like to discuss a trade or simply just chat about hats, please feel free to connect via the following social sites:
