So, I've had these dreams involving the padres and a top hat twice now. I think it's time I jot it down.
The first dream was a few months back. Maybe even a year.
I live in Nevada which has no state lottery. My friend had just returned from Arizona with some lottery tickets we agreed to split. Well, I dreamed about winning the lottery. The first thing I did with my lottery money was buy a condo at The Legend overlooking Petco Park.
The next thing I did was buy full season tickets in the dugout seats. For whatever reason, I saw it as important that I be seen on tv. I wanted to be the guy you thought of when you think of Padres games. I must admit some inspiration came from that guy on the dirty doggers who used to do the speed gun behind the backstop.
Anyways, I decided that wearing a top hat to every game would get me the attention I deserved. It worked. I was talked about on the tv broadcast and was generally known around town.
Last night's dream continued the story. I was becoming too famous as "Top Hat Guy". People in the stands started wearing top hats too. Though some people would only put on their top hat in the later innings in order to start rallies. I got a bit sick of going to local gaslamp restaurants and people recognizing me. I tried walking around town without the top hat, but I was still getting harassed by fans who wanted to take pictures with me. I did get lots of free beers though.
The dream ends with my friends inviting me to The Tilted Kilt and me trying to decide whether or not I want to bother being out in public.

Can I use this as a Top Hat Story Sharing Time?
I went up to Dodger Stadium to watch the World Baseball Classic in 2009. We had utter nosebleed seats, so we were up in the windy boonies. Some douchebag in a Jeter t-shirt sits down right in front of me, and he’s wearing one of those Uncle Sam top hats that’s red, white and blue. And he’s now blocking my entire view of the field.
I took a photo of this guy and sent it to my friends who were in town also at the WBC but sitting in a different section. They are Jeter-haters, and so we had a good laugh at this guy’s expense. The sad part about switching to a new phone is that I lost that picture. I would pull it out every now and again and just laugh and laugh at the bro in the Jeter shirt wearing a stupid ass top hat.
Anyroad, your dream ends at The Tilted Kilt. Any dream that ends that way can’t be too bad, right?

Jankee fans are idiots...
And what’s worse is they don’t realize they’re idiots.

That's right - the Yankkes used a top hat as part of one logo.
But what does the dream mean?
That the Padres will become the West Coast Yankees?
That the Padres and Yankees will meet in the World Series?
Or that kevintheoman should stop eating New York cheesecake before bedtime?
