My Daddy sure does love me!
(Before reading it is important to inform you that the events & stories did infact happen, the emphasis however was added for humor purposes)
So this year had many accomplishments and this is not an end of year blog entry. It is however an opportunity for me to share with you another one of my White Sox stories. This year, one of the greatest things happened to Jen and I with the birth of Mason. He has been such a blessing and joy to our family and we just can't get enough of him. He has also been a great addition to the "Anderson White Sox Fan Club" by watching games, screaming at the pitchers, and crying when we lose a game or two. Some people say he likes the movement on the screen but we know better...he really likes the White Sox!
So this year the Sox did pretty good and won the American League Central Division and I was so excited because that meant more Sox baseball and the hat MLB put out was pretty cool.
Well this hat was nearly impossible to find. I wanted to get Mason one because it was a Sox hat, they won their division, and it was the year he was born. I thought it would be cool for him when he gets older. So I looked everywhere and the hat was always sold out. I had Aunts and Uncles in Chicago and Grandparents in Ohio looking everywhere for this hat and still no luck. I searched online and the best I could find was a Alternate hat, which was not my favorite, or one on ebay for 56 dollars. (Jen wouldn't let me bid on it though)
(JK, I'm not that crazy).
I even called the manufacturer of the hat and they gave me a list of stores to call that would carry or sold the hat but every store was sold out too. So as baseball season came to an end I was on the verge of giving up and accepting the fate of Mason's broken heart that his Daddy didn't get him his favorite hat, I decided to check one more time....and there it was! It was like I found a golden ticket to Willy Wonkas Chocolate factory! It was like the Sox just won another world series. The hat was for sale again! So after making sure it was in stock, and under 25 dollars, I called Jen and placed the order while asking for her approval at the same time. (Gotta ask the wife first right!) She of course said yes and three days later Mason got his first real White Sox hat!

Isn't he so cute!
That's my little Sox fan!So the hat is going in a plastic bag and will be put away for a rainy day.
Maybe even his first game at US Cellular field. Who knows!
"I love you buddy!"

Josh! That is a cute story and an awesome hat. What a cool mom too!
Josh, you know it is sometimes better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. Just ask Rudy! That was a great story. I was about to go on-line to see if I could find one for Mason,then I read the rest of the story. I am happy for Mason (and you) that he got the hat. He has the biggest smile. He knows what you went through to get the hat. I agree with you (wink, wink) that it is not the TV, but that he is a true fan of the Sox! Mason is such a lucky little guy to have you and Jen as parents!!!
What a sweet Daddy. Mason I am sure will cherish that had and the story behind if forever!
You guys, he looks so grown up already! He's getting so big! Way to be a persistent fan Josh! Now he'll know all you went through to get a hold of that prized hat:)
Oh my, he is SO CUTE in that hat! I love it! What a doll!
He is so cute and getting SO big!
