I have never watched a superbowl.

I recently updated my Facebook pic, and several people have commented on it. In particular, my nephew seems to have been amused. I can't imagine why.
Some have thought that it reveals that I'm a Phillies fan.
Actually, the cap used to belong to Wally Backman, who played for the Phils for a couple seasons in the early 90's.
It was probably in 1991 on Fan Appreciation Day when I heard my seat number called out. A few minutes later a woman in the Phils organization brought me the Wally Backman cap.
It's been sitting on a shelf ever since, until I took it out the other day for a lark.
Meanwhile, Wally Backman has had his share of ups and downs.
