After posting on this blog for 15 years, opportunities to celebrate "firsts" are increasingly scarce, but while searching back through the archives to confirm this week's Frisco RoughRiders cap place as the third variant featured here for the team, I am proud to say that this particular one is my first-ever Marvel's Defenders of the Diamond design to be a Fresh Fitted Friday selection.
The timing here is also fitting as we enter Presidents' Day Weekend, and of course I have to shout out the 2021 Fredericksburg Nationals "George" Alt Cap, which has the distinction of being my first-ever Presidents' Day post, and, just like presidential cycles, goes, was published four years ago around this time.

| While the minor league baseball club known as the Frisco RoughRiders employs a PascalCase script for their team name, their namesake was the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry regiment that went by the Sentence case styled "Rough Riders" and was organized to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898 by Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel Leonard Wood. |

| While I wish there was more symmetry on the sweatband tags, I like that Marvel has some representation here! |

I have a more Defenders of the Diamond caps to write about however the impending President's Day holiday decided the fate of this week's post and I'm sure other events will prompt future choices. While I lean more towards the Copa de la Diversión designs, I associate baseball feats with heroism and hope the logos continue to evolve as the partnership continues over the years.
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.
