"On Opening Day, the sport will doff the traditional wool cap in favor of a new polyester blend model designed to wick away sweat before it can stream down a player's face."

looks promising, i use my yankees hat when playing tennis and the ability of the new caps to help sweat quickly evaporate will be helpful

When are they gonna be available in retail stores? My current authentic cap has a rip and the band has shrunk, so I could use a new one. Also, since it's polyester, do you think we'll actually be able to put these caps in the washing machine now?

Hey look.... What a surprise.... The ESPN sight used a Boston cap as the example in the article!

I cannot believe how bias they are!

One: I hope you're joking.
Two: It's the ESPN 'site'.

I really, really hate ESPN.

Well, we all know how Bud's last plan to... ummm... "boost player performance" turned out.

This one is kinda legitimate because the problems with a 100% wool hat are already well known and documented. This will solve two of the biggest problems with the sweat accumulation and shrinkage. This matters for every day wearing for people like us as well.

I think it's funny how people blame ESPN for a Associated Press article. Let's all call SI biased now:

I got to say I think you're off base on this one. I agree that in plenty of instances in the past they've messed with uniforms and logos to make an extra buck but in this case they are actually fixing something that has been an issue for both MLB players and people like me who sometimes wear baseball caps and tend to sweat a lot in them. I can't wait to buy one.

Will be interesting to see what the players think after a couple of months into the season.

I'm all about the stretch-fit hats, myself.
