I'm also a fan of the A's away cap and the White Sox throwbacks they use once in a while.

I also love the Cards home jersey. You can't wrong with two birds hanging out on a bat. I like to imagine that they are shooting the breeze about about the team.

I've always liked the Cards jerseys, and not that I'm into birds, but I like the Orioles gear too.

Dopest fans I've seen this season: I was at the game last night and sat by a group of Hasidic guys who were rockin NY Yankees gear under their plain white shirts, black pants and jackets. Forgettable game, but what a view we had of the action at third. They were snapping closeups of A-Rod and Jeter with their phones. No pics for me, but Mr. Buck Showalter signed my ticket as he mingled with some of us NY fans before the game.

Also, 1, I'd love to get a Flood #21 home jersey, but I wouldn't feel right owning one unless Alex got one first. The Cards uniforms are almost perfect. No stripes except on the socks, no piping, no unneccessary serifs on the numbers (another double-knit-era scourge the Yankees failed to avoid), navy road cap, old school interlocking logo, just sharp as hell all around.

My fav's by far are the Cardinal caps but I can't wear the colors of another team. 1 Vockins, while I can understand what you say on a certain visceral level about the Sawx schmatte I could never bring myself to endorse the sentiment or repeat it. Go in peace brother.

OT: Dave Winfield went .290/.377/.491 at age 40 for the '92 Jays. It was great to see him win a World Series, sad that it wasn't with the Yanks.

Almost.

8 I hear you on the cap cut. I wear either my '80s Yankee cap (with the sharper, smaller logo and softer crown) or my Ruth-era throwback. When I put on the '90s-era lid I picked up it looks ridiculous. The shift to deeper crowns, 3-D insignias and MLB logos on the back continues to tick me off.

Hey, can't complain about Andy batting seventh, but a Yankee lineup without Sheff, Matsui and Giambi is hard to look at. I think I'll go take a long nap. Someone wake me up when Sheff's reactivated.

I have a low crown Yankees cap made in 2003 and a 2006 high crown. I also still have a 1985 with the green bill, not grey. I have come around to the high crown. You've got to go Tom Gordon/Terminator X with it - right above the eyebrows.

I tend to retire my caps after about three seasons, though. That's about as long as I can get with cleaning and the scotch gard. Got to look tight, man, don't disrespect the colors! Leave that trashed cap look for Red Sox fans. I'm not Trot Nixon.

the new yankee hat i just bought has a funny design flaw. the white liner around the interior of the hat actually extends a little BELOW where the brim meets the cap.

I despise caps that are strange colors, like sky blue or yellow. Those just aren't right.

That said, one of my favorite caps is an early 90s offwhite cap, with navy stripes running up to the button along the sides of the panels, a navy brim, and the smaller NY on the front. Classy.

I like the fit of the Twins Enterprises hats, but don't like the color of their Yankees hat. It's too faded - almost gray. But I bought a SF Giants hat that they made (as a souvenir to a visit to Pac Bell) that was one of my all-time favorites.

My choice now (honest) is a cheap hat I got at Hat Day a few years ago. It seems weird to be a serious fan but have such a rinky-dink hat, but it fits nice, is blue, etc. And it was free!

Finally, anyone notice this weekend that a lot of the A's players were rockin the bright yellow socks under green stirrups? Very 80s retro.

NESN showed some guy @ the O's game last night wearing that. I loved those -- brings me back to my old baseball card days. The new O's hat with the realistic bird is lame.
