The Most Exciting Thing from a Putrid Phillies Game Was Fans Working Together to Return a Dropped Hat
Published:
Presumably, you turned the Phillies game well off before this point, but there was a moment in the top of the 9th, down eight runs, when some fans banded together to return a hat to a guy who dropped it:

Vintage Kruk during this sequence. He correctly points out that we don’t care about the challenge at the plate. And he identifies a person wearing a Braves jersey and hat combination in the upper deck, a full-kit wanker, perhaps.
But this is indeed good teamwork. They did have to curve the hat and smush it up to throw it, which I think is Gen Z Kryptonite. They wear the flat brim hats and whatnot. They don’t curve the bills like we used to at Boyertown Little League back in the 90s. Honestly, though, this is perfect brim curvature:
Yes! That’s how you do it. This is what you should do with a brand-new hat. You take it home and immediately squash it, curve the brim as much as possible. The thing better be looking like a damn horseshoe within 24 hours of purchase.
