OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

BTW, here’s a daddy coat story I hadn’t mentioned. When I ordered it online, all the reviews said they run really small (Asian sizes). So I ordered a XXL (usually wear M or L).

A month later I was excited to see the package, but devastated when it was WAAAY too small and also the wrong color. However, I then realized that package was in fact not the daddy coat, but instead my son’s Halloween costume. The coat arrived a few a days later and was purrfect!
