spring cleaning

i washed my hat today to get ready for the new season. i didn't wash it at all since beginning of spring training last year. i don't really care for superstitions but i think it's a little neat to keep a couple small ones to yourself. this is the water from washing it. that squiggly line under the brim used to be daisuke's signature but sweat wore it off. after taking these pics it dawned on me i shoulda had "before" pics. the salt stains went all the way around and up and down. pretty nasty. go sox. and i don't want to hear about any preseason win yankee boy. good luck to all teams.
