CarolinaMudcatsAbout a week ago, my friend John passed along this link to a post on Put This On – which, aside from being a cool site I hadn’t seen before about dressing like an adult (something I attempt to avoid at all costs, according to my wife and closet) – had some bummer news about The Cooperstown Ballcap Company. It seems that the company is going to be limiting its production of old school-style baseball caps – you know, serious wool, serious logos and stitching, and so forth – after the end of this year. So, it would seem that this is a good time to go score an orange 1975 Houston Astros home cap, or better yet, a 1975 Columbus (GA) Astros hat, which looks JUST like the Houston one, but with a “C” on it.

The team formerly known as the Columbus Astros still exists today, by the way, just as the Carolina Mudcats (logo to the right).
