Thirty-Eight Years Alive

I normally never get personal on this and I assume no one reads it anyways. But, it's my blog and I'll post whatever I want, whenever I want. Today, I turn 38 years old. Thirty-eight years old today is a lot different than 38 years ago. It's also a lot different now than I expected when I was younger. But I continue to be happy and grateful of what I've been through and what I have. Saturday was when the family was over and was gifted some new gym clothes, coffee, and a Winners gift card. Score! Additionally, I was greeted by some very special friends, one whom I haven't heard from in a while and is currently going through a lot. Today started really well when one of my closest friends took me to Pizza Hut where it had one of the very few buffet services still standing. As like all Mondays since September, my birthday was capped off with an Ajax Boxing Club redcreation class. Thank you to those who wished me this special day. Here is to another 38 years of blogging and sharing more of my personal journey.

Love always,

Ebbets Field Flannels x New York Black Yankees

Been a minute since I've posted a new fitted hat. Also been a minute since I've posted. Newly acquired is an Ebbets Field Flannels New York Black Yankees authentic wool cap worn by the former Negro League team in 1936.

This particular cap is made of wool broadcloth material, cotton sweatband and a satin green underbrim. All authentic caps are "Made in USA."

The NY Black Yankees were founded in 1931 and joined the Negro Baseball League in 1936. Throughout their tenure, they played home games most notably at Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds until the league folded in 1948. One of the most famous players to wear a Black Yankees cap was pitcher Satchel Paige in 1941. He would play in that season's Negro League All-Star Game and later inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame [1971].
