Kudos to MLB for honoring military veterans and troops over this weekend by having teams wear (no they’re not leftover Phillies) red hats. I’ve heard that there are some who have been complaining as their team hasn’t done well since donning the crimson chapeau’s

We could complain as well as the Blue Jays are a Canadian team but I suspect their woes are a result of the Yanks play rather than the hats.

Are they related in some way Mike? As far as I know MLB is donating ALL proceeds of the sales of these hats, and kicking in an extra dollar for every hat sold, to Welcome Back Veterans, a program which addresses the mental health and job needs of returning American Veterans. Is this group also doing that?

I don't think they're related, Andy. It was just my idea of humor. The Red Hat Society is for older women. It takes it's name from a poem by Jenny Joseph that starts like this:

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me.

That's what was going on. I was watching the Twinkies yesterday wondering who the hell decided to wear the red hats. I am by no means a fashion oficiando, but the red hats with their normal uniforms looked awful strange, now I understand why.

That's OK Mike it's just with my thick skull I didn’t pick up on it. :D
