Oh To Be a Kid Again...


First, allow me to remind you that I did not start loving baseball until I was 13 years old.   Even then, I never knew of the wondrous item about which I am going to tell you.  I assure you, if I had known, I would have broken open the piggy bank right then and there to go buy one. 

The other day, I had to stop by the local sporting goods store to buy my son some cleats for his baseball team--woo hoo he's playing baseball--and his first practice was then rained out.  In the baseball aisle, I saw the ingenious MLB money-maker you see pictured above.

I'm not gonna lie.  I wanted one.   Bad.   I didn't care that I wasn't eight years old.  The little mini helmets are just so mini, so unpretentiously adorable.  And may I ask the rhetorical question, how much fun must it be to switch the little helmets around each day as the standings change?  

I think I'm going back tomorrow to get one.  Seriously.  Don't make fun.  You know you want one too.  Or, you already have one.
