Jay wears a ball cap 24/7 except on Sunday's of course. I guess that explains why he has 27 of them hanging in his closet. It seems he will purchase multiple hats anytime we go on vacation, he also has multiple hats with his favorite team logo, along with the hats that display the logo of his beloved alma mater.
Which Brings me to the question ~~~~~~ Why do grown men wear baseball caps? The sociology is complicated -- sort of like men themselves. They know they're too old to be mistaken for sluggers like Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez, who wear such hats for business.

So why? Partially that old baby-boom nostalgia. Or ''My hair is thinning.'' Ah, yes. Men, particularly baby-boom men, are aging. As their hairlines recede, their heads get cold.

'Baseball caps are hats for guys who don't wear hats. In winter men will wear topcoats and baseball caps because it's cold. But they'd never wear a fedora.
*
Unlike fedoras, baseball caps announce that the wearer is virile, young spirited, and iconoclastic. They are the great equalizer.
*
Kids on the streets wear them, as do investment bankers, athletes, movie stars, and other hip types.
The baseball cap should be worn in the direction that your life is travelling.*

With the exception of the first photo It's good to see that Jay's hat is worn in the direction his life is heading~~~~~That would be FORWARD!
The other day John Childs told him he looked 25 when he wears his ball cap....Now he'll never take it off....

Well, funny thing is that my dad only used to wear baseball caps, but now that he is retired, he bought a fedora. AND it looks good!
