Finally.  The highly sought after Phillies ear-flap cap — just like the one J-Roll wore in Games 5a and 5b of the World Series — will be available for purchase next weekend at the Majestic Clubhouse Store located inside Citizens Bank Park.  At 40 bucks a pop, they are actually cheaper than the regular on-field New Era caps from the World Series.  Quantities will surely be limited, and because of the lack of production on them, you might just have to wait until next year if you miss out on the first order.  So I’d recommend you be there on Saturday if you want one.

If these caps alone aren’t enticing enough to make a special trip to The Bank, perhaps something else on this weekend activity list will be.  Besides the cap shipment, here are the other tempting attractions:

• The release of A Perfect Season, the 2008 Phillies DVD
• Free photos with the World Series trophy (!!!!!)
• Holiday tree and ballpark lighting ceremony (Saturday@5pm)
• Take your picture with the Phillie Phanatic as Phanta Claus
• The Phillies ballgirls will be there
• Canned food drive sponsored by Philabundance
• Phillies Charities memorabilia sale featuring game-used bats, jerseys and caps

Remember, all of that happens next weekend.  I’m sure I’ll see you there.
