"Go Baseball!!! Go Teams!!!!! Hooray!"

On this very day of June 25th, 2025, I'm glad #PokemonGO has gotten to the point where my avatar can pretty much now be dressed up as the baseball version of that infamous "Actor #RobLowe Wears An NFL Hat" picture.
A layout of two photos. On the right is the infamous "Rob Lowe Wearing An NFL Hat" picture that went viral after the actor appeared in the stands of a Packers/49ers playoff game in January 2020 while wearing a cap with the NFL logo on it. On the left is Chris J.'s avatar in "Pokémon GO", which features the character wearing a blazer and a hat with a MLB logo. The avatar is meant to replicate Lowe's appearance from that meme.
