10 years later he played for the Giants, it was a sign of things to come

That is epic. So intense he doesn't even flinch.

Love how he notices something off with the fit and then takes it off.

[hansfrutalo]

That first guy cracking up always gets me

[zonamade]

Legend says, the hat is a time traveler

[rodman]

[ajl]

His eyes got big for a second as if realizing his mistake

[nealomohundro]

Randy Johnson is like the Paul Bunyan of baseball

[socal]

[robertfan]

My childhood is ruined, thanks youtube.

[griffinemmet]

10 years later he was a pitcher for the Giants

[leekm]

Mr. Big Unit, please check the color of the hat before you put it on.

[KrazyDom]

The irony is he later plays for the giants

[anthonykingofkings]

Whoevet's hat that was probably thinking, "well, that's his hat now."

[jacobduran]

The big until if good at pitching but he needs to work on picking up the right thing lol

[kevinsandstrom]

He played his last season with the Giants so it was foreshadowing

[charleslynching]

HES THE KIND OF S C U M B A G you'd find barbequing with Charles Manson at the Spahn Ranch

[griffinhays]

The only way this could've been better is if it had just cut to him wearing the wrong hat without showing him putting it on

[doctorcameltoe]

that's the universe speaking to itself ... or it could just be a coincidence 🤷‍♂️
