IF YOU'VE SEEN ME IN A HAT OR CAP, YOU'VE KNOWN ME FOR A LONG TIME

The last hat I remember wearing was a cowboy hat in Washington, D.C. The year 1981. Before that it may have gone back to intramural fast pitch softball at ISU in 1968. Why? I don't have the head or face or dignity or grace to wear one.

Not even a golf visor. In Arizona. In the Summer. But I do wear sunglasses.

I like to watch the old movie reels of the fans at professional baseball games. They dressed up to go to the games. Men in suits, hats, ties cheering on their team. People used to dress up before they went on an airplane. Of course, people used to get dressed up for church, too.

But this entry's about hats. Why did they go out of fashion? My dad always wore a hat. Guys today that are dads usually wear them to cover bald heads or bed heads. But back then, men were men and never in history did they think of wearing their hat backwards. They also didn't show the tops (or more) of their underwear. They sure didn't have their pants look as if they were falling off.

So I guess as time and fashion changes, so should I. Being an old catcher, wearing the cap backwards should be no problem. Sometimes my pants need hitched up, so if I can just remember to let them hang there, I'll be hip. I think my underwear kinda falls down from where they start in the morning, so that will be a little harder to reveal. But I'm afraid now I've provided faithful reader(s) with too much information.
