Phillie Phanatic?

On last night's edition of Hardball, host Chris Matthews donned an old-school Phillies hat to support his recently crowned World Championship team. 

I don't know. It looks kind of new to me. Perhaps he purchased it just in time for the taping? Since the last time a Philadelphia sports team won a championship Ronald Reagan was in the White House and Return of the Jedi was number one at the box office, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. 

I fully expect, though, a prominently featured Sixers hat when the team is battling for a playoff spot this spring.

Let's play hardball.
