Jackie Bradley Jr. makes amazing catch, winds up with hat on backward (Video)
By Dan Zinski
Jackie Bradley Jr. is the human highlight reel. He makes this play on the dead run in deep center field in Anaheim, leaping to make the snow cone grab just before smacking into the Thermador sign.

And somehow he winds up with his hat on backward. That’s the most amazing part of the catch. He goes into the wall, his hat is on correctly. He’s lying there on the warning track, his hat is on backward.
Bradley politely turns the hat around the right way before getting to his feet, not wanting to get ripped by the purists. If it were me I would let Bradley play the rest of the game with his hat on backward. Or sideways. Or dangling from between his butt cheeks.
Honestly, after a play like that, a man should be able to do whatever he wants with his hat. The position of a man’s hat is sort of beside the point when he’s able to make a leaping play on the dead run and crash into the wall without dropping the baseball.
