It’s On Sale: Ebbets Field Flannels
Anyone who reads the eBay Roundups regularly has probably already surmised that I’m fond of Cooperstown Ballcap, a company (now defunct) that hand-made baseball caps in a broad variety of vintage styles. We’re left to trawl eBay for those gems, but at least we still have Ebbets Field Flannels.
Ebbets Field Flannels caps have a slightly more modern form - they have higher, stiffer crowns and fabric rather than leather headbands. Still, they’re quite beautiful, and have some wonderful details like green satin underbills. They’re also very reasonably priced, at $40 each.
Of course, when they’re on sale for 25% off, just in time for the All-Star Game, it’s downright unamerican not to buy one. They’re the perfect accessory for a summer afternoon in a t-shirt and jeans.

Gosh…training for some sport just got underway, and I can’t for the life of me remember which one.
Just shelled out for a couple of Brewers tix 9-packs (Rivals Plus Plan, to be exact).
This decision was made based on the package including the following:*
Cardinals game (5%)
2 Cubs games (15%)
Twins game (40%)
Free Home Opener tickets (40%)
I can almost smell the drunk Cubs fans stumbling out of the seats around me. (Also: we can’t make the May 11th Brewers/Braves game. If anyone wants, I’ll unload them on the cheap.)
*I assure you, the late August Brewers/Pirates game played no part in my decision making process.
