I'm writing this post after watching the Dodgers beat the Phillies in their NLDS Series but I'm trying to avoid being in foul mood because I am truly thankful for all the otherwise exciting baseball moments that October brings. I do have to admit Philadelphia was the team to beat this postseason so excuse me if spooky season has me unreasonably scared for what comes next!
Speaking of frightful thoughts, Halloween is just around the corner and I was reminded of fond holiday memories like visiting haunted houses when i learned about today being National Haunted House Day which is an unofficial holiday folks have been celebrating on the second Friday in October for over a decade now.

| There's even a banner you can grab from this site to put on your blog or website to show support for the holiday! |
At any rate, now that the Yankees have also been eliminated from the postseason I really don't have any teams to pull for so I figured this week's Fresh Fitted Friday selection might as well be a fictional "What If?" team that Clinker Hallucination dreamed up for The Clink Room which he cleverly named the "Austin Bats".
 |
| This is the second design that I have featured from Clinker Nathan/Hallucination but I'm hoping to someday get my hands on a fresh colorway release of both the 7th Inning Seagulls and Tampa Pterodactyls. |

| The graphite grey undervisor looks great here as it sort of gives the hat an overall weathered look even though it's brand new. |
 |
| Clink Kong embroidery is looking extra menacing on this one! |
A fun fact I learned when first perusing the product page for this hat on the Clink Room's site is the world's largest urban bat colony is located under the Congress Avenue Bridge in downtown Austin, TX. Apparently thousands gather there on summer nights to watch the bats fly so hopefully I'll get to have that experience although I wish it happened during Halloween season!
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.
