One of the fun things about Opening Day is that I met some actual readers. Â What surprised me is that readers actually enjoy the snarky posts about Mets caps. Â Well, good news – there’s plenty of new caps out there.
I’ve been posting a lot of museum/opening day pictures but I’m jonesing to do a caps post so let’s do a quick one. Â First the pictures then the comments. Â The challenge: guess which one I actually purchased.
That first picture (my usual awful framing): there we see an unappealing blue cap with New York on it. Â Clutter. Â It’s not even a Mr. Met cap, why is it in this post?
#2: Two Mr. Met caps. Â That blue one on the left is kinda cool…the one on the right, eh, why buy it if the one on the left exists and is right next to it.
#3: a nice looking blue and orange Mr. Met cap. Â If I were a hot chick and I saw a fat guy in one of those I’d give him a kiss.
#4: Â also a blue and orange Mr. Met cap but someone got carried away with the orange dontcha think?
#5: Â That one on the left is interesting and quirky..Mr. Met’s cap has blown off!
#6: Â Interesting in that Mr. Met is standing (or leaning on a bat) but why did they ruin it with the orange line thingies?
#7: Â Also not a Mr. Met cap but how about that variant NY. Â Very cool.
#8: Â The answer to today’s quiz, and perhaps the clues gave it away – I bought this one. Â $18.
Only makes sense to get the orange billed hat, it’s a Mr Mets favorite

I own the same cap you bought. Love the design, just wish it was a darker blue instead of that denim hue.
I also had to rip out the plastic webbing in the front so it wouldn’t look like a cereal box sitting on top of my size 7 head, but I end up doing that with most caps.
The 3rd cap down on the right margin of this website would be money were it not for the superfluous “1962.”
