It’s been a rough week for Osama Bin Laden. First, he was killed. Then the Times refused to call him “Mr.” (The Gray Lady withholds the honorific from only the world’s most wretched scoundrels.) Then he crossed over to the dimensionless horrors that awaited him. And now Bin Laden’s (no “Mr.” for you, you dead, rotting jerkwad!) pleasing demise has united those previously immune to unity: the Mets and the Phillies. Witness spontaneous chants of nation-state:

“I don’t like to give Philly fans too much credit,” David Wright said of the binding powers of Bin Laden and his sucking chest wounds, “but they got this one right.”

This is a trucker hat. With a Montreal Expos Larry Walker baseball card printed on the front. From the eBay listing description:

We acquired this rare cap and many others from a direct family relative of LARRY WALKER in Maple Ridge, B.C. – his home town! 🙂

Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of the trucker hat style but I do think this is a brilliant idea as far as cap logos go. I just don’t think I’d drop 22 bucks on it (plus shipping and handling!).

Hat tip to Matt Clapp of Sharapova’s Thigh and his readers, 89% of whom would rock this style as of this writing.

Navin Naswani showed you this interesting photo last week:

What he failed to highlight, however, was the presence of Friend of Site, Ejector of Fears, Joe West. Yes, ol’ Westy actually inspired this event, spinal tapping the base-pilfering hippie — demanding he eject the second base by all means necessary. Computer, ENHANCE!:

God bless that Micronian.
