Adam Sandler's Big Blue Magician Hat

When Tricia Rockett's kids noticed Adam Sandler wearing a Swampscott All Star hat during an appearance on the 2012 MTV movie awards earlier this month, they knew something had to be done.

"My son became upset, he said 'he should be wearing a Marblehead All Star hat,'" she said in an email Friday. "He went to his supply where we have extra hats from each year - and put five hats in a bag."

Rockett said it wasn't long after her daughter was put in charge of the note-writing that they set off for Sandler's home with a bag of hats and a message that read: "Dear Mr. Sandler, We saw you on TV wearing a Swampscott hat - we think you should be wearing a Marblehead All Star hat - where the design originated."

Along with the package, which was left on Sandler's front doorstep, Rockett said her children included their home address and cell phone number. Two days later, the Rocketts found a surprise message of their own.

"There was a nice note in our mailbox stating 'Love the hats neighbor! I will wear them with proud! Have a great summer - Adam Sandler'," Tricia Rockett said.

Since then Sandler has been seen wearing the hat on-set, at the premier of his new movie, That's My Boy, on David Letterman and most recently, the Today Show.

"It has been fun for the kids to see him in every picture with his Marblehead hat on," Tricia Rockett said, adding, "when he wears it backwards - the back of the hat in small lettering says: Marblehead!"

Hollywood, it seems, can't escape Marblehead's storied rivalry with the Big Blue.
