I don't know. Maybe it's that they remind me of that other atrocity- the goatee. Baseball caps outside of a weekend ball game...just look immature to me. From the picture, you look run down, tired and, yeah, daddy. It's the cap's fault. Why not surprise the wife, and wear a fedora with that get up? Mid gray with a large black band. I've heard too many women say how they appreciate a man who wears a real hat...initials CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676097755038091712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-978235897063903012010-02-05T11:06:26.925-08:002010-02-05T11:06:26.925-08:00Anonymous February 5, 2010 5:52 AM,

The smalness and quirky shape of this old park just don't lend themselves to the instialation of a jumbotron. Better still, in a few years the building will make the national jistorical register, further hampering any attempts to remove its soul. Besides, Fenway is treated almost like a church in Boston. Lots of things that are common in newer parks are viewd as outright sacrilege here. In short, it is quite possible to enjoy a game at Fenway. Hearing the ball hit the glove may be a stretch in the upper rows of the grandstand, but I've never had a bad time there.<br /><br />NCJack, <br /><br />even though he used to manage the Yankees, and even though he now manages Manny Ramirez, I've always thought that Joe Torre was pretty cool.

Is it unsullied by enormous TV screens and blaring rock- and/or roll-type music? Can you actually hear the sound of a ball hitting a glove? Can you engage in a little contemplation while the players do so to, as everyone waits for the pitcher to throw the ball?<br /><br />In other words, is it still possible to enjoy the game at Fenway?Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-2307714659332216452010-02-03T19:47:26.335-08:002010-02-03T19:47:26.335-08:00You are aware, no doubt, that in that top photo yo...You are aware, no doubt, that in that top photo you look just a bit like Joe TorreNCJacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-75216391464216937582010-02-03T19:32:57.745-08:002010-02-03T19:32:57.745-08:00Can't fault the Sox cap!

The red cords and cashmere coat keep you from looking dangerous, but swap those out for an old raincoat and some jeans and you'll have all the parents at the playground looking at you with concern.<br /><br />I wear a hat every day: proper fedoras, and straw Panamas in the summer. I hadn't worn a baseball cap since Little League. Even so, I finally broke down and got a baseball cap (alma mater version), and have donned it in public--along with my alma mater sweatshirt--to go to a bar and watch an alma mater game on the tee-vee. Other than that, the look isn't for me, but you--as usual--managed to pull it off.<br /><br />Baseball?
