My representation of real fandom

My representation of real fandom

I Bought this hat in like 2011 or 12. The Astros sucked ass, the Rangers were in the WS. I'm a San Antonio native still live there, but was raised an Astros fan. I remember all of the Ranger gear those years, which was kinda weird because SA usually leaned Astros or at least 50/50 or 60/40. Nobody was repping the Astros anymore.

I loved the new refresh of the logo and uniforms and didn't give a s**t that they sucked that much beyond the fact that they stopped showing games here in SA and we started getting fucking Rangers games.

When the 2017 s**t came out I wasn't happy but I also hated the sanctimonious and hypocritical damnation for something that has been part of the game forever, meaning most teams have dabbled in that s**t one way or another at some point. Lemme tell you about "The Shot Heard Around the World," one of the most famous HR in history. Guess what, the Giants were using a system that last run that season.

But still, I need to reform and clean this hat, been mowing in it, but coming from a city with one native pro team, the fact that so many switched from being Houston "fans" to Ranger fans back then still irks me. If you can't ride with the team when they're crap, then GTFO.

Alright, off of my semi-drunk soapbox. Good Night y'all.
