Lots and lots of college baseball is available on ESPN3. I've probably watched a dozen games already. Some good, some not so good. The uniforms and caps continue to get more stylish with their branding.
My quest is to come up with the top-10 list of college baseball caps. Everybody's got their own tastes. For example, I've become extremely fond of the Army West Point, Stanford Cardinal , Tufts Jumbos, and Richmond Spiders caps for their uniqueness. Please share some of your favorites.

@PTWood That's an awesome hat, but be prepared for minor league promotional stuff. The kid played for Trenton Thunder - pretty cool, right... Except every Friday night they transformed into the Trenton Pork Rolls! The uniforms reminded me of those mall hot dog on a stick uniforms. I'm still not sure what a pork roll is?
OMG I’ve been warned…
@PTWood, @JCG The amazing marketing minds at the NYY's gave us both the Pizza Rats and the Pork Rolls... My son missed being a Staton Island Pizza Rat by a season. Staton Island was a really nice park with a view of NYC while ships would protrude above the OF fence as they went passed. I was disappointed when the Yankees cut the affiliation loose after so many years.
My boss has a fetish for minor league hats. He'll get on our internal calls with a new minor league hat every time. I guarantee he has them all. Of course I'm partial to the Richmond Flying Squirrels, but lets keep this thread on college only.
JucoDad - I'll give you major points for the Banana Slugs. However they'd be trumped by the UC Irvine Anteaters if UCI ever decides to put an anteater on their cap. That would be so cool. ;-)
Sorry for the thread drift, Fenway! UCI does have a couple Anteater logos but I don't know if they have ever made it onto the game caps.
JUCO - taking the SI Ferry to that stadium for a game was soooo awesome. I'd post pics of the view you describe but then I'd have to apologize to Fenway again.
Never been much of a Notre Dame lover. Every year I get into arguments with my buddies that Notre Dame football is overrated, and then Notre Dame proves me right at the end of the season. This has been going on for decades, and probably will never end. However, I'm going to throw my buddies a bone here, as I do like the kelly green shamrock baseball cap. It is top ten for baseball caps....not football teams. ;-)
Summer league eligible? Vermont Lake Monsters are pretty cool.

Search for the team hat under images. Find a player wearing the hat. It’s how I validated Kansas sometimes wears the Jayhawk hat.

It’s the Celtics influence. Notre Dame still sucks!
I like this one and don't think they wear it enough!
@RJM posted:This is the best logo in college sports. I searched to make sure there was one on a baseball player’s head. They also have hats with K and KU on them.
I can’t see that without thinking of Foghorn Leghorn. “Thats a mighty fine, I say, thats a mighty fine hat you’ve got there boy! “
@adbono I'm so glad you said that and not me!!! Hahahaha I think the same thing... "Now who's respo...I say who's responsible for this unwarranted attack on my person."
Also (so I don't get us off track again), another biased response but I am fond of this one...

You and I are on the same wavelength. I was looking for the Hokie-stone baseball caps yesterday. I could have sworn that I've seen those, but can't find on the internet. I love the Hokie-stone football helmets as well, and they don't wear those enough. With new football HC, possibly that will change. He's a Hokie through and through.
Florida A&M Rattlers. Unable to determine if this is what the players wear, but the logo is pretty cool and unique.
Always kind of been a fan for some reason

When my kids were younger they called it the "big bad wolf" hat.
