According to the Boston Herald, Red Sox center fielder Johnny Damon did not realize that he had accidentally received a Houston Astros Division Series cap Sunday afternoon until someone pointed it out to him during a live television interview:

“I saw the star, and I just thought it was a different (cap) design,” said Damon about the Astros insignia. “I’m sure people thought I was rooting for the Astros.”

Red Sox equipment manager Joe Cochran said “slip-ups like that occasionally happen.”
