Baseball Caps: An Unscientific Anthropological Study
Abstract:
Once seen only on baseball players and boys nicknamed Beaver,
baseball caps have ballooned in popularity.
For a variety of reasons - such as making a fashion statement or
keeping ultraviolet rays off vulnerable noses - the number of
American heads on which baseball caps now perch has grown
tremendously in the past 20 years.
Whether worn for form or function, baseball caps are so prevalent
that they've become almost invisible, an accepted part of the
American outfit.
