Cubs fan finds signed Cardinals hat on interstate

PEORIA — Someone is missing a 2011 World Series championship baseball hat autographed by St. Louis Cardinals players.

The Journal Star in Peoria reports a central Illinois man found the hat on an off-ramp along Interstate 74. The man who found it — 38-year-old Joe Couri of Brimfield — says he's a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan. The hat appears to be signed by David Freese, Yadier Molina, Jason Motte and other players.

Couri wants to return the hat to its owner. He says whoever comes forward will have to know an unexpected signature on the hat or "have a picture of himself wearing it."

Couri says he was driving home when traffic backed up because of an accident. He says he saw the hat among debris along the ramp.
