Batter up! a History of the Baseball Cap

Описание: The baseball cap is probably the most widely worn hat of our time. From its origins as a simple piece of athletic wear it has spread to other sports, to uniforms, schools, political campaigns, truckers, workers... And as opposed to most other hats I talk about, there is a good chance all of you watching either own one or have worn one at least once.

The caps I wear in this video are a Kansas City Royals cap that comes from Kauffman Stadium, a Washington University in St Louis cap given to me by the alumni association, a USS Dwight D. Eisenhower cap that I got on the ship itself, and a John Deere Trucker cap from the Tractor Supply Co. of Hays KS.
