R(e)ally

While watching the Phillies fans writhe in pain and agony with their team losing in the ninth to the Cardinals last night, the TV cameras panned in to a guy with a rally cap on.

There is no reason a grown ass man should find the need to turn his hat inside out and put it back on his head.  Are there some magical spells that you can cast that no one else has figured out yet?  Is your hat the hat that is going to spark a turnaround?

It just looks ridiculous.  I like the effort and your heartfelt desire for your team to succeed, but a rally cap is not going to do a think.  Especially when you're the only one in the section with said cap on.

Take this guy for example:
He's so far away the rally cap effect doesn't even reach the field.

Occasionally you see the players in the dugout doing it, and that's a little less ridiculous, because they actually can help determine the outcome.

Fans, stick with wearing the cap properly - forward and straight with a little bend in the brim.

Good day.
