i wish i had never seen this

please sir don't wear a 1980's Baltimore Orioles hat ironically to a hipster party ever again; to some of us the 1980's Baltimore Orioles represent the feeling of being at a late September game as a 6 year old with you dad, your best friend and his dad and watching Eddie Murray hit a home run to beat the New York Yankees in the last game of the season, and even though maybe you don't know exactly what's going on the feeling of standing and cheering with a stadium of 45,000 and the most important people in your life fills you with a feeling of joy and abandon like no other; to approach a game at Memorial Stadium to watch the O's play as a child you knew that everything would be perfect in your life for as long as the game lasted (baseball has no clock); that's what that hat means to me - to you it means "hey guys look what I found at the thrift store - will someone please sleep with me"
