Holding a rope hanging over a ledge

I smell him before he speaks. He is there and I am cornered. 

"I hit a home run", He says. Not only did he hit a home. He hit the home run. 

"Good because I only voted for you three hundred times", I reply. Not looking up from what I was doing. I bought the hat before he was voted on to the All Star Team. He didn't make the first ballot. He was "voted in by his peers". I was happy for him.  I still am.

I like the hat. It has an orange brim.
