Welcome back to another entry of Fitted Friday where I show you one of my fitted caps every fifth day of the week. Today's item is my Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim [LA Angels for short] authentic by New Era. How I obtained this cap has an incredible story.
On the side of the cap is the 50th Ann'y emblem of the LA Angels. A pretty exclusive cap that is nowhere to be found in Toronto. Not even New Era Toronto carries these.
Here's how the story goes:
During the Blue Jays last home series and second last day of the homestand against the visiting LA Angels, a rep from the their clubhouse came by for Vernon Wells to grab his order of chicken wings. As he left, I asked the him if he'd be able to get me a cap in my size. He walked away joking he would - at least I thought he was. The next day, the rep returned and threw the hat in my direction. I was shocked how he lived up to his word. According to him, "it was all Vernon," and not only did I recieve a cap, but an autographed baseball by the outfielder as well.
It was an even greater day since the Toronto Blue Jays earned the W on the final home game of the season from Edwin Encarnacion's walk-off HR in the 12th. Much thanks to Vernon Wells and the clubhouse manager whom [forgive me] I'm blanking on the name.
