No Pepper Games: take off the hat, Fred.. or whoever you are

I know there were some questionable hats in the 80s, but COME OOON!


I don't recall Cincinnati ever taking the field with that particular headwear. Fred Scherman, you've been around for a long time, why resort to a mesh trucker hat? (Topps claims this is a photo of Fred Scherman from 1983, but Fred Scherman's career ended in 1977,  and this doesn't look like an old guy trying to mount a comeback. Hmm. Maybe it's Fred Schneider?)


That hat is just silly. That's one of those "5 proof-of-purchases plus $2.95 for s&h" offer in the back of a cereal box hats.


Baseball is a wonderful thing! :)

  1. He's just wearing a snapback because he knows it'll be a cool thing to wear in 2012. He was just ahead of his time.

    1. Thanks, Commish! Yes, Bill Scherrer. Seems right. Got a ring with the 84 Tigers, despite his misguided cap choices.
