Wallbats (by Clinker Josh S. from The Clink Room) - Fresh Fitted Friday!!!!

I am not going to front: I had multiple Philadelphia-adjacent caps at the ready for this week and the next but the Phillies' elimination in the NLCS by the Arizona Diamondbacks has summarily drained my desire to post photos of those hats thus, this week I am channeling National Black Cat Day energy for this week's Fresh Fitted Friday post.

And since I don't have any caps with a black cat on the logo we are pivoting by showcasing the embroidery of a white bat on a black hat which I guess which is acceptable because we are staying within the spooky parameters of the Halloween season!

I've mentioned this before but I would really like to see some sort of "Clink Room" sweatband  tag on these caps if for no other reason than experiencing the joy of pure symmetry! 

See how nice the Clink Kong logo looks in his symmetrically embroidered glory here? I love this!

My life is filled with few regrets which is why I have no misgivings about posting Mystery "N" Star hat last month rather than saving it for a potential postseason post as a tie-in to the Texas Rangers now. Sadly, I just remembered my mid-1990s Las Vegas Stars hat which looks more like one worn by a former Rangers affiliate than the San Diego Padres but it is too late for that!

Besides my Fowlball cap—which is another banger from the Clink Room—I don't actually own a single Arizona Diamondbacks hat in my collection however I did share photos of some 2001 and 2002 All-Star Game caps signed by Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson, respectively! Keep in mind y'all: snakes, bats and dead birds are all part of the Halloween family that we celebrate.

Something else I only just now realized is that the 2023 World Series is the first one ever to feature two teams with a state in its name rather than a city. Obviously, New York teams are exempt as those are obviously referencing the city rather than the state. Otherwise, we would count the 2001 and 2003 series which pitted New York against Arizona and Florida, respectively.

Well that was an especially intriguing discovery to close out this week's post was it not? More importantly, I need to figure out what to write about next week because my well is running about as dry as one might imagine they would in Arizona and Texas so stay tuned!

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.
