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
