Very good, Ron. Of course I have heard this term "hat trick" but never knew the meaning...Looks like Frank got the prize hat!
The term originated in 1858 during a cricket match in England. Bowler Heathfield Harmon Stevenson took three consecutive wickets. Impressed fans passed a hat around to collect money to buy him a new hat as a prize.
