Thanks Smoke this is awesome + I hope it takes off! All my caps are temporarily in storage.
I have so many memories associated with baseball caps. Great idea for a thread.
My current favorite although I usually wear the parent club's cap.
Here are a couple of old favorites. Who knew then that TMM would be pitching for the Tides 20 years later?
Very Cool!!
JCG,
I quickly ID'd your cap since I saw one just the other day and had to look it up. Looks like you have rosin on the bill. 
You're a lefty, correct?
Great cap, JCG. Back in the day, didn't they just use the letter "B"?
Correct, Smoke. Extra points if you can ID the one holding down the overdue bills on top of my desk. Oh, nevermind. Too easy.
TMM_Dad, Good deduction, but that's not rosin, it's bread flour. Breadmaking is among the things that I do ambidextrously.
Great topic. My fave is my father in law's NYPD pipes & drum cap, it was his favorite. Lost him to lung cancer over 5 years ago. I wear this cap to my 2 sons games. It is kinda silly but it makes me feel he is watching the games 
too and can share in the joy. It is in desperate need of a cleaning but I am afraid it won't survive, so I suck it up. I swear my hair is thinning because of this petri dish with a brim.
That. Is. A. Great. Hat.

Yeah, it was kinda easy. I saw it right away!
Looks like you could use a shave, dude. Me, too!
This is a special hat. I saw a one-armed man throw a no-hitter in person. I was with two good friends, Andrea and Dave, and we bought three hats and signed them for each other after the game. I will bet everyone this is one thing that will never happen again in MLB.
smoke, was your son in the program the year they had the palaka caps? i wanted one so badly but they were only for the kids and coaches who were currently in the program. i pulled all of the strings at my disposal and still couldn't get one, lol.

The dishwasher works wonders on old sweat stained hats. Just put hats in the upper rack and hang them out to dry when cycle is complete.
I have so many hats…..my wife says I have a problem. Reppin Rumble Ponies these days.
Great thread! 
This is my new cap that arrived last Friday with some other goodies. I love the Lion but am wondering if maybe the orange is a little too orange. I wasn’t even thinking of this cap when I resurrected the thread kidding about JCG’s cap and the latest hot topic.

My husband has one that's pretty serious. I get what she's sayin'.
Love the thread smoke. I'm not a hoarder, but I have way too many caps. I've whittled it down from 25+ to 5 that I truly love for one reason or another. Is it normal for an adult man to be attached to so many caps? I was half-joking with my wife that we should get an insurance rider on my caps and she thought I was serious.
Here it goes from left to right.
-My Boston Red Sox World Series cap from 2004. Invaluable. I wore the hell out of this cap before, during and after the 2004 World Series. Honestly, I think this cap is more than 25+ years old.
-The cap I wore when my son's team won the Ivy League in 2012. He and the team had a great year.
-When we visit my wife's family in Maine, I wear the Portland Sea Dogs hat. They are crazy Red Sox fans up there, so this cap is a little change up to the family dynamic as all they wear are Red Sox hats 365 days a year.
-A HSBBWeb parent got me a Yale Bulldogs golf cap when I provided advice for his son's HA baseball recruitment about 10 years ago. I wear this everytime I go golfing. This was a tremendous and thoughtful gift.
-My youngest son's "trucker" cap (as he calls it...has mesh on sides and back) that I wore through the Virginia 5A High School baseball playoffs all the way through the semi-finals his junior year.
