Mr. B.’s Rangers cap
He bought the cap figuring the Rangers would get back into the World Series again and, just maybe, this time they’d win it. Third time charm and all that.
Instead, they bombed out of the playoffs, homer-hitter Josh Hamilton was booed and may not be back next year and, suddenly, the cap has sentimental value only.

What it won’t explain is the mentalities behind the statistics, and we won’t ever learn most of that, so we’ll have to infer. Which I am reluctant to do. [...]
