Completely Conspicuous 673: A Tip of the Cap

Completely Conspicuous 673: A Tip of the Cap

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey as we celebrate the return of the MLB season by discussing our favorite baseball hats.

Show notes:

  • We've both purchased many hats over the years
  • Back in the '70s and '80s, you didn't have a lot of viewing choices for baseball games
  • Baseball cards were a big factor in figuring out the hats and logos you liked
  • Hats can fade, especially the dark blue ones
  • When you just can't wear a Yankees hat
  • Now there are so many alternate jerseys, hats, logos
  • You can get hats in different colors and styles
  • Old guys like us don't like flat-bill caps
  • Other sports don't wear hats as part of the uniform, but you can get hats for their teams
  • We often get hats of teams we have no affinity for
  • Phil's honorable mentions: Black Sox-era White Sox, Boston/Milwaukee Braves, Cardinals from the '40s, Pirates pillbox hat from the '70s, Cleveland Chief Wahoo hat from the '50s
  • Jay's honorable mentions: Reds, Brewers '70s hat with the glove logo, Royals, Expos all-blue hats in the '90s, Mariners '70s hat, Blue Jays original hat
  • Phil: Seattle Pilots had a bad hat, with a touch of stolen valor
  • To be continued
