Hey, I have no objection to baseball caps being worn on the ball field. They keep the sun out of your eyes and make sure you don't throw the ball to the wrong person, and fedoras are impractical.

But if you're not playing, what's the point? It's not like we carry video game controllers around with us when we leave the house.

Fedoras convey a dignity, gravitas, and respect - both when worn with well-tended clothes and when taken off as one enters a building. But I agree that, in the wrong hands, they border on hipsterism.
