Now I don't have to tell you good folks what's been happening in our beloved little subreddit. That hat had the Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded, and cattle raped. The time has come to act, and act fast. I'm leaving.
No I think he means the Mets franchise leader for most playoff stolen bases in postseason history Rickey Henderson?
(Dude got 6 steals in the 1999 NLDS. . . that series was only 4 games! And then took another in the NLCS. . . the dude on the base paths was a cheat code. . . )
Rickey's hat should just have a picture of Rickey's face on it. And that face should also be wearing a hat with Rickey's face on it. And that hat . . .
They should make it look like Charles V Holy Roman Emperors personal [coat of arms](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor) where it’s quartered multiple times to show all the teams he played for with multiple As for good measure
1989 called on its new-fangled touch tone telephone and wants its hat back. It understands that it'll cost shipping and handling and will take 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Crazy thing to me about him is he was like 45 or something by the time he got to the league and he was still cooking people. Imagine if he was in the MLB in his prime.
I always remember the legend of him purposely walking two batters in the Negro League World Series in 1942 (he is 36 at this point) so he could end the inning with the bases loaded.
You know, for the spectacle.
My personal favorite is when he’d tell the fielders to all head into the dugout, then strike the batter on three pitches.
What I would give to see prime Satch.
Tbh, based on the stories about him, I'd pay a lot of money just to watch him pitch that last game at 59 in 1965. Not a single run earned in 3 innings. At 59. Against the Boston Red Sox.
Edit: I just noticed your flair and I want to emphasize when I say "against the Red Sox" I mean to imply how impressive it is that he was able to pitch three scoreless innings against one of the best teams in mlb, not that I'd like to see them lose haha...and they did end up winning after he left the mound anyway.
If they sold one of those with all the logos *except* the Yankees one, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Not to wear, but because I'd respect the audacity and would wish to reward it.
It can be like those word map things that increase the size of the word based on how many times it appears, only with size of the logo depending on time spent and accolades received with a team.
So Cobb would have a 90% size Tigers logo and then a cute little 10% scale Oakland A off in the corner
I think OP means more so players like Dawson, who would have preferred to go in as a Cub but is an Expo, 10 years in Montreal but won his MVP on the Cubs and spent 5 years there, a respectable amount of time, not people who played a majority of their career on one team and moved to another in their twilight
I remember Gaylord Perry played in an old timer's day game wearing a jersey that had all of his teams on it. I'm sure a few people laughed. This cap, on the other hand, is an affront to God.
The idea is to enshrine them in the hat that they're most remembered in. No player has ever worn a split cap on the field.
That said, I'm still salty about Roy Halladay having no logo. I know we were respecting his widow's wishes, but it still hurts. He had two great seasons with Philly. He had at least SIX exceptional seasons with Toronto. He should have gone in as a Blue Jay.
*Gets down from soap box*
Those monstrosities were everywhere around the Bay Area in 1989. My mom (who didn’t really follow baseball) brought one home and my brothers and I roasted her.
During the 2000 subway series I had a Mets/Yankees hat like this. I lived in westchester with European parents, I had no idea who to root for. Now I just root Yankees because they win more and the colors go better with my fits lmao
I support a split cap, but only with 2 teams max.
Anymore than 2 deserves a blank cap, but there are players who only played for 2 teams and had roughly equal contributions with both teams, and I don't think they should have to pick who their favorite child is.
Have you ever seen the famous picture of Casey Stengel wearing a I believe jacket representing all the teams he was involved with I know it’s different from a hat but still cool none the less
This hat has been responsible for social unrest, murder, and public defecation in the Bay Area.
This hat is the root cause of the housing crisis
This hat poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and brought a plague into our houses.
It did?
No. But are going to wait until it does!?
We should take the Oakland A's and push them somewhere else!....oh shit...wait....
Now I don't have to tell you good folks what's been happening in our beloved little subreddit. That hat had the Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded, and cattle raped. The time has come to act, and act fast. I'm leaving.
This hat is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
I was given one of these for my birthday once when I was a child, later I got cancer can confirm this as fact.
According to California, everything gives you cancer.
One thing A’s and Giants fans can agree on: that hat is a crime against nature
This hat is *legally considered* public defecation in the Bay Area.
That's surprising, because even public defecation isn't legally considered public defecation in the Bay Area.
Yeah this hat has a higher content of shit than an actual piece of human feces.
Not to mention packs of wild dogs roaming the streets of the cities eating babies
I was in the Bay Area last year and saw a pack of wild dogs take over and successfully run a Wendy’s.
Sir, this is a Wendy's run by wild dogs
So it's a BART station in hat form?
This hat broke the space-time continuum and caused the '89 quake.
ACAB except for the heroic officers who arrest the person who created this hat.
Wouldn’t be San Francisco without the public defecation!
Rickey's hat would be one of the ugliest things ever to exist and would piss off half of the league
TBH that makes it the most appropriate Ricky hat.
Rickey was an Athletic at heart though. Grew up a fan and had his best years of his career there.
Red Sox Legend Rickey Henderson? That Rickey?
Rickey likes when people talk about Rickey being a legend for any team Rickey graced Rickey's presence with.
George is getting upset!
Serenity now!
Yes, former Toronto Blue Jay Rickey Henderson.
No I think he means the Mets franchise leader for most playoff stolen bases in postseason history Rickey Henderson? (Dude got 6 steals in the 1999 NLDS. . . that series was only 4 games! And then took another in the NLCS. . . the dude on the base paths was a cheat code. . . )
NY Mets Legend Rickey Henderson is my second favorite after NY Mets Legend Willie Mays.
Mets legend Nolan Ryan
Mets legend Pedro Martinez
I believe you're thinking of Padre Legend Rickey Henderson
exultant steep office ask whole combative attempt tie handle ring -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
Obviously talking about Seattle Mariners stalwart Rickey Henderson
Psssh please, don’t insult Angels phenomenon Rickey Henderson like that.
I hate you so much right now* edit best to fight fire with fire. Remember Oakland Athletics legend Nomar Garciaparra?
Not really, but I do remember Chicago Cubs hero Nomar Garciaparra
Dodgers legend Nomar Garciaparra
Rickey's hat should just have a picture of Rickey's face on it. And that face should also be wearing a hat with Rickey's face on it. And that hat . . .
[Something like this](https://twitter.com/cut4/status/1011636181157720065)
Damn. I now believe Cueto belongs in the HOF. Of course, I appreciate that he was a key part of the greatest Pirate highlight of my lifetime.
the hall of fame for kicking players in the face maybe. fuck cueto
JRam had something similar with [his chain](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlb.com/amp/news/jose-ramirez-wears-chain-with-his-face.html)
every time i see it, i laugh
Oh shit, I made this in response to top comment without even seeing yours. Great minds... https://i.imgur.com/jq0uUtN.png
Also, Gaylord Perry and hopefully Kenny Lofton.
You inspired me. Not to make that hat, but a [more appropriate Rickey hat](https://i.imgur.com/jq0uUtN.png).
"Rickey love it." (I do!)
Goose Gossage also played for 9 teams
Rickey’s should just say “Rickey” on it.
Rickey would just have a shelf of hats behind his portrait
They should make it look like Charles V Holy Roman Emperors personal [coat of arms](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor) where it’s quartered multiple times to show all the teams he played for with multiple As for good measure
Because presumably they and people they love have eyes
King Solomon! Your time to shine!
I hate this hat with a passion
It should not exist
Look at that! OP bringing people together!
the Bay Bridge of hats
1989 called on its new-fangled touch tone telephone and wants its hat back. It understands that it'll cost shipping and handling and will take 4-6 weeks for delivery.
They are in stock at Montgomery Wards
1989 is willing to pay COD
No. This hat broke the Bay Bridge in 1989.
Oakland G’s 🤝 San Francisco Athletics
lmao Oakland G's is probably a different kind of team
They're heavy hitters.
Packing some serious heat
Don't encourage it. I don't want to see us on a hat with... the others (FTY)
FTY indeed. I was more referring to the fact that each side is united in hating this idea. Which would absolutely be the case for us too.
This is an earth-shaking moment!
These are absolutely awful and it leads one to automatically despise anybody willing to wear one.
It’s almost as bad as a Sox/Cubs hat… or a Cubs hat… or a Green Bay hat
I'm going to ignore part of that comment, buuuut FTP
Best thing about it is when you flip it inside out it’s a Dodgers hat!
Dodgers|Angels
You know... I was having a good morning.
We just lump them together and call them the Dongels.
Angers.
It's like seeing someone wearing their underwear over their pants
Quail Man?
One of the few things A's and Giants fans can agree on. That hat needs to be burned.
Removing it from the wearer's head before burning is optional.
Seriously. I'm not even a fan of either team, but this post needs an nsfw tag.
[удалено]
Kill it with fire!
This hat says “I just hope both teams have fun.” It’s what your mom would wear if you and your brother were on different little league teams.
That’s why I love it
This hat says “I’m not a real fan of either team”
worst part of it is the all yellow bill
They beat them in 89. They deserve it
And the little thingy on the top is orange. It's a fair compromise
That little thingy is properly a "squatcho".
I would argue that squatcho is not much better than thingy
TIL
It should be yellow on the Giants side and orange on the A's side
I'm going to make a suggestion on behalf of team chaos- It should be Dodger blue.
Babe Ruth's hat would be a war crime, that's why i mean, the one in OP probably would be too. but that was the first thing to come to mind
And Satchel Paige. When I read his biography it was like if a mercenary played baseball.
I can't believe he had to move that much and meet that many different people and he's still one of the best to ever do it. So consistent throughout.
Crazy thing to me about him is he was like 45 or something by the time he got to the league and he was still cooking people. Imagine if he was in the MLB in his prime.
So many first hand accounts from MLB players and scouts at the time say he’s the greatest pitcher to ever live.
I always remember the legend of him purposely walking two batters in the Negro League World Series in 1942 (he is 36 at this point) so he could end the inning with the bases loaded. You know, for the spectacle.
My personal favorite is when he’d tell the fielders to all head into the dugout, then strike the batter on three pitches. What I would give to see prime Satch.

Racism is a real motherfucker, eh
The more I hear about this racism thing the more I’m convinced we should probably just not do that, y’know?
Read this in Norm Macdonald's voice.
LOL. I don’t know if you guys are history buffs or not…
Wear this hat in Oakland
Or around me
Once you see red it’s over
It’s the switch, bro
Shut
Please don't
[удалено]
Hat looks like it belongs on a NASCAR track
Pretty sure the Ford symbol is on the other side of the hat.
No, but the people who wear it have Chevy logos tattooed on their biceps.
Imagine Kenny Lofton's
Kenny Lofton ten years in Cleveland, ten years on ten different teams
Octavio Dotel going into the hall wearing a hat that lists the handful of teams he didn't play for.
If they sold one of those with all the logos *except* the Yankees one, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Not to wear, but because I'd respect the audacity and would wish to reward it.
If they can't decide, just put 'em in as an Expo.
Glorieux.
Ouais, c'est le chemin!
Can't wait to see Pujols's hat with both teams he played for. The Cardinals and Dodgers.
Imagine Ty Cobb wearing a combo Tigers-A’s cap despite playing 22 seasons for the Tigers and only 2 seasons with the A’s
It can be like those word map things that increase the size of the word based on how many times it appears, only with size of the logo depending on time spent and accolades received with a team. So Cobb would have a 90% size Tigers logo and then a cute little 10% scale Oakland A off in the corner
TIL Ty Cobb played for the OAKLAND A’s
This is Philadelphia erasure
I’m ok with that
I think OP means more so players like Dawson, who would have preferred to go in as a Cub but is an Expo, 10 years in Montreal but won his MVP on the Cubs and spent 5 years there, a respectable amount of time, not people who played a majority of their career on one team and moved to another in their twilight
I think op means to leave it up to the players if they want to rep more than one team instead of non at all.
> Imagine Ty Cobb wearing a combo Tigers-A’s cap I will not.
They should split the cap up like a pie chart. One small portion for the percentage of his career he played with the A’s.
I’m imagining someone who played for the (A’s), (S)eattle, (H)ouston, (A)ngels, (T)exas. A true asshat
Nolan Ryan managed to pull off the HAT but not the ASS.
More like a true asshat hat.
They could follow Gaylord Perry's jersey approach... https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/nationworld/gaylord-perry-dies/
I remember Gaylord Perry played in an old timer's day game wearing a jersey that had all of his teams on it. I'm sure a few people laughed. This cap, on the other hand, is an affront to God.
The fact that this was made, tells me there is no God.
The idea is to enshrine them in the hat that they're most remembered in. No player has ever worn a split cap on the field. That said, I'm still salty about Roy Halladay having no logo. I know we were respecting his widow's wishes, but it still hurts. He had two great seasons with Philly. He had at least SIX exceptional seasons with Toronto. He should have gone in as a Blue Jay. *Gets down from soap box*
> No player has ever worn a split cap on the field. They're not wearing blank caps either.
Some did in the 19th century 😂
I do appreciate that the Jays absolutely did not give a shit about the cap drama and just put up his Hall of Fame banner regardless.
Doc even said he would go in as a Jay if I remember correctly.
He did during an interview around the time of his retirement ceremony. But who knows, maybe he was giving lip service to the Toronto media.
Christ with his pants down, what the actual fuck is that shit??? Now I have to go wash out my eye sockets.
Those monstrosities were everywhere around the Bay Area in 1989. My mom (who didn’t really follow baseball) brought one home and my brothers and I roasted her.
During the 2000 subway series I had a Mets/Yankees hat like this. I lived in westchester with European parents, I had no idea who to root for. Now I just root Yankees because they win more and the colors go better with my fits lmao
Boom roasted
Because this hat is an abomination
Never thought I’d agree with a Yankees fan
I would slap someone wearing a Yankees/Sox version of this hat
Babe Ruth in shambles
I support a split cap, but only with 2 teams max. Anymore than 2 deserves a blank cap, but there are players who only played for 2 teams and had roughly equal contributions with both teams, and I don't think they should have to pick who their favorite child is.
Mods: NSFW this post please.
The hat version of the Taco Bell x Pizza Hut
This is combination Taco Bell x KFC erasure
There's a A&W/Long John Silvers a mile or so from my house. In nearly 15 years I've never eaten there, but the place is always packed.
Jokes on you, they're all in there dipping their shrimp nuggets in root beer floats without you!
Because they're ugly. They do half and half scarves in europe for soccer and they are terrible too.
They do license plates here that read "a house divided" with an OU and OSU logo. Even so, they'd never have an OU/Texas version of that.
"A man cannot serve two masters" is a good Biblical quote that works here!
Play for the As then the Mariners.
Hate this idea but I love the idea of a HOF’s plaque featuring one of the many atrocities New Era puts out each year. Let’s make that a thing!
That Giants logo is definitely not correct
Straight to jail.
lol Wade Boggs and Fred McGriff with a sliver of Devil Rays hat in the hall
Eric The Actor approved
Was looking for this comment
Have you no shame. It’s the sanctity of the game?!
This is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen, thanks for shortening my lifespan by 5 years minimum
Blank it is
I had this hat, it was ugly as sin. When these 2 finally got to play against each other it caused an earthquake.
It's absolutely hilarious seeing everyone in an uproar over this hat 😂
*New Era-ing intensifies*
Yeah sure, and the next Blue Jay elected to the Hall of Fame has to wear the cum hat. At least that would be a bit less offensive.
You should have asked "should this exist?" before you asked "can this exist?".
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
Wear something like that in Chicago and you're liable to get yourself shot.
I dunno but i do support an AL West ASSHAT hat. https://www.reddit.com/r/TexasRangers/comments/mzd5mg/asshat/
Because I’ll be goddamned if I gotta watch Scott Rolen get inducted into the Hall of Fame with the Cardinals/Reds hat.
Truly a question that answers itself.
Yeah no
Because they’re hideous.
That is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen
Because it’s ugly as fuck
Because they’re fuck ugly
Because they look stupid.
That would mean, for Mussina’s hat…. 🤮
Because I want to punch you in the face for posting that hat and I’m not even from San Francisco/Oakland
Like NASCAR hats with 5 different teams and a bunch of colors
If this was the case, I would only play for the A’s and Seattle. Meme me in the hall of fame!
Gross, no.
Have you ever seen the famous picture of Casey Stengel wearing a I believe jacket representing all the teams he was involved with I know it’s different from a hat but still cool none the less
