Spirit CapsBy Wiley Channell Spirit Caps are to baseball crowd and sports enthusiasts the signature statement, of the wearer, in support of his or her favorite team. The Spirit Cap a flat short billed wedge shape styled cap was being worn and available to the sporting crowds well ahead of our standard baseball styled cap of today. The comfortable stylish cap proved to be both a functional piece of head wear and was the item of choice for many well known and famous sportsmen and gentlemen of note. The early 1900s era saw the explosion of countless figures wearing what was then called "The Newsboy" or "Ivy Cap." Well known gentry of the sports world, which included famous baseball players, men of the movies, and men of political stature and even the less fortunate blue collar workers sported wearing of this styled cap. The early history of our country practiced the habit and custom of wearing of hats as a matter of protocol. As a rule a gentleman when outdoors wore a hat for several reasons. The hat or cap provided protection from the elements of weather and to keep the body cool in summer and warm in winter. A gentleman and all men were taught to tip or doff their head covering when in the presence of a lady or persons of the gentler and opposite sex. We have throughout history been bombarded with countless memorable accounts picturing the use and wearing of the flat short billed cap. The cap had almost lost it lustrous and formidable use and its vast popular appeal with the wearing public.The popularity although slipped and some considered obsolete and not at the top of the charts in popularity and a demanding public it never-the-less is now on the astounding come back trail. Consider yourself one of the forerunners on the most popular come back phenomenons in the history of popular rising flat short billed wedge shaped cap and to be known for the come backs of the 21st Century as the "Spirit Cap.". Think back and come with me on a nostalgic journey while we recall some of the famous figures and most popular well known names for which you recall sporting this design of cap. Uh Huh how about Babe Ruth, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, Robert Redford, Mickey Rooney, Joe Louis you see I remember some but there are many many more. From early days when our Negro Leagues of Baseball was in their glory days the ball players and fans from all across our country sported the flat short billed wedge shaped caps. The style was the cap of choice. It would be a real thrill if the general public and all who reads this short article would add to my short list of celebrity persons associated with the wearing of the flat short billed wedge shaped cap which may henceforth be recognized as a "Spirit Cap." The Spirit Cap showcases and reinforces the general public sense of belonging and the wearing of caps reflective of their favorite school, team or organization. Thus the reference to these caps as Spirit caps captures this trend and style for the baseball crowds to once again enjoy. Batter Up----Let's Play Ball.... is a signature statement of Major Wiley B.
