I'm not a hat person. For one thing, my head is really big and it's hard to find hats that fit.

 

I only have a few hats, all of which are primarily functional rather than fashionable. A broad-brimmed hat I got for my trip to Mexico. Several baseball caps used, well, for baseball.

 

I've also got a few as souvenirs from travels. I've got a muslim skullcap from a visit to a mosque in Sri Lanka. Somewhere, I've got a Mao cap from our trip to China. Last summer I brought home a Greek fisherman's cap from Santorini.

 

This is one of my prized hats. I've been a Yankees fan since 1961, and in 1983 I finally made it to New York where I saw the Yankees play the Chicago White Sox. I bought this cap at the stadium. As you can see, I didn't put it away and treasure it. Instead I used it when playing baseball, so it's dirty and sweat-stained. I kind of like that it's been used.

 

Full disclosure: I didn't actually make Saturday a Hat Day. I only put it on to take the photo.
