Same hat different stories

On the metro I saw a blind man finding his way to a seat. When I saw that he was wearing a Florida Marlins baseball cap I remembered that I used to have the same one. The one I had I won at some game in Las Vegas many years ago (at least ten). His looked almost as old and had the inner rim turned inside out with the tag sticking out. It made me wonder what a different experience that hat goes through than my old one.
