the.com/hat trick
Scoring three times when twice would've already made the highlight reel.
means Three goals, wins, or achievements by the same person in a single contest or outing.
from From cricket: a bowler who took three wickets in three consecutive balls traditionally earned a new hat from the club, or had one passed around for a collection in his honor. The term was recorded in cricket writing in the 1800s and later spread to hockey, soccer, and beyond, long after anyone was actually handing out hats.
- origin
- cricket bowlers got an actual hat for three wickets
- soccer rule
- technically needs same player, same match, three goals
- escalation
- four goals is just called a haul, oddly anticlimactic
