    I love those. Those are basically the only hats I wear.

    I used to hang on to every cap I wore playing baseball as a kid. I had several of them in a box until a few years ago, when I was cleaning up my room one day. Had hats from my peanut league season with the Yankees and my "minor league" years with the Cubs, White Sox and Yankees -- again. My last cap was an Astros one before they switched to the brick red look.

    My top 5 (sports category). A wool California Golden Seals baseball style cap; Chicago Enforcers (XFL), New Orleans Voodoo (AFL), Montgomery Biscuits (AA), Berlin Thunder (NFL Europe).

    One sign of my advancing age is that I really can't wear baseball caps anymore, at least not fitted ones. I have relatively poor circulation to my head, and even if I wear the correct size, I can have problems.

    If I go a size up, I look like Angus Baseball Young.

    I've got one for the Tokyo Fighters bought when we stayed three days in Okinawa. Would LOVE to go back ... just a peaceful place, friendly people, clean and stellar food.

    Mine isn't a New Era cap, but still a worthy reminder of Okinawa City.

    Really don't understand the "trend" of leaving the sticker on. Is there some correlation between head size and um...something else?

    It looks like it was taken hot off the back of a white box truck.

    I've gone exclusively to the flex fits. Also diversified my color collection ... I have the standard blues, but also have a red and a green. I like being color coordinated.

    Spike, one of my early hats was a Rockies one. I also had a reversible (shut up) Rockies jacket. Still think the color combo looks sharp, a couple decades later.

    Put your hat on straight, curved bill facing forward. And get off my fucking lawn.

    Nice! I have a Thunder one as well. I also have an XFL hat..Memphis ManiAX. A guy at work has a KC Scouts hat, I've just been to cheap to pony up, but I would like a Colorado Rockies hockey hat someday.

    i'm starting to think this is more of a frank-esque type of hat:

    So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say.

    This, 10K times over.

    I saw a kid one day with his hat backwards and a pair of Oakleys propped up on top of his head. He was holding his hand over his eyes looking into the sun to spot something. I shouted "You have two devices on your head specifically designed to keep the sun out of your eyes if properly worn!" I really don't think he got it.
