This was the cap the Astros wore during last night's game. They scored 11 runs (winning 11-1); the starting pitcher, Gerrit Cole, struck out 11; Yordan Alvarez, rookie Astro, hit his 11th home run. The 11th run was scored on the 11th hit by the 11th player to bat in the inning (3rd). All 11 runs were scored (2nd and 3rd innings) during an interview with Eric Armstrong, son of Neil Armstrong. (Armstrong also threw out the first pitch--a strike.)

My boss went to the local AA Astros' affiliate (Corpus Christi Hooks) game on Friday night, and bought me the cap. I have a lot of baseball caps--this is the coolest!

That's absolutely incredible, Vince! :eek::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::cool::)
(And I've been around for too many of @r8shell's April Fool pranks, so I did a Reaganesque thing: I trusted you completely, Vince, but I also verified the number facts independently. :rolleyes:)

The spaghetti westerns and Josey Wales were great.

Josey Wales and Unforgiven are Clints best westerns imho. Just about anything with Duvall is good,if not great. I'm real partial to the crown style that came to be known as the "Gus Pinch" after his character in Lonesome Dove. But its a style thats been around a good while before he wore it. I particularly liked Open Range, speaking of which, I liked Costners hat in that one.And Costner for that matter, the "You the fella that shot our friend?" scene is one of the best in any western imho.And well John Wayne never made a bad western (Ghengis Khan not so much ;) ). Of which its been to long since I've watched The Searchers again

Duvall is good in whatever he is in.
I think westerns may be the best movie genre. War movies are close behind.
 
Unforgiven was almost perfect. I just wish he'd left out the subtitles fore and aft. The dime-novelist character was absolutely superb. Disappointed again and again by the thugs he's trying to romanticize, he keeps looking for that knight in shining six-guns.
I've probably said that before.
John Wayne has an interesting knife in The Searchers. You just get a couple glimpses of it when he comes back from burying the blonde. Looks kind of like a giant roach-belly.
Jimmy Stewart was great in Westerns. Bend of the River, and that Alaskan one where he comes back to kill everybody who killed Walter Brennan.
I'd better get another picture of a hat and a knife, digressing galoot that I am.

I love Bend of the River.
Oh, this is my snow-throwing hat, a Duluth Trading Co wool crusher with ear-flaps, and an Olsen Solingen Bowie that had nice stag handles I put on something else so I could encapsulate the rustable tang of this one.

My favorite cowboy would be Clint Eastwood, except he didn't have much to do with cattle after Rawhide. Probably Robert Duval.

Fairmount Cut. Co. The "o" in "Fairmount" is poorly struck. I thought I was going to need an asterisk.

Actually,same here. I always watched Rawhide back in the day and even watched it up until they took it off my TV list last year.And I seen the first spaghetti western he made in San Francisco back in 1966 while waiting for our plane to take us to Vietnam.Oh and Robert Duval, now he's the Man.
