Things to know about the Astros floppy hat giveaway

Game giveaway for May 12

(KPRC)

HOUSTON – It may not be as coveted as the replica championship ring, but the fan promotion for Saturday's Astros game is getting a lot of buzz.

On the Astros website, it's described as a floppy summer hat. It's similar to the trendy beach hats that have been popular among women since last year. But instead of summer/beach messages on the brim, these hats have "Houston Astros" on it.

The Astros sent a few hats to KPRC 2 so our viewers could get an early look at them. Look at how stunning our Sophia Beausoleil looks modeling one of them!
