What in the blue hell is that monstrosity? A scratch-and-sniff baseball cap? What the hell for? Are things like this really, really in demand from an economy-starved public? Watermelons on a baseball cap? Granted, the thing was designed and is being marketed at children young ladies, but do parents really want their fledgling Red Sox fan to look like a dork? Wouldn’t they rather have them look like real fans instead of a reject from the Strawberry Shortcake factory?

Furthermore, I thought the whole “female sports fans wear pink” fad was over.

I suppose the thing is cute, but it would be so much more so if it wasn’t affiliated with one of the most popular Major League Baseball teams around. I swear, if it wasn’t for this page, I’d have to believe the Sporting Blog’s find is a hoax.

Did I mention the cap is also scratch-and-sniff? Because it is:

In other news, it would be incredibly awesome if the actual team wore these during a game, while taking full advantage of the scratch-and-sniff technology in between pitches.
