Re: Show Us Your Hat(s).
I read that ballplayers regularly lost 5–7 lbs in a game. Plus almost all that sweat would go into the uniform, making them heavier as the day went on. Just a nightmare.WestwayKid wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 3:18pmI played vintage baseball for about a decade and we played in full wool uniforms.

I believe it. I'd play a full game and just be soaked. I can't imagine doing it day in and day out.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 3:32pmI read that ballplayers regularly lost 5–7 lbs in a game.

And consider that double-headers were fairly frequent and they’d have to be played primarily during the day due to no lights.WestwayKid wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 3:52pmI believe it.

I've been thinning a bit these last couple of years. Never go anywhere without my trusty cap lately.

Really cold weather means the fur trapper. Last pic is my Scottish heritage showing through.

Oh, shit, I just remembered something from yesterday that I was going to post in the Limey thread, but it fits here. I was walking to school and passed a guy, maybe 25 years old, wearing a deerstalker and carrying a smallish doctor's bag. All he lacked was an oversized hooked pipe to complete the Sherlock Holmes look.

I can't imagine what it would be like to play hockey (not field hockey, but ice hockey with all of the padding and such) in a warm environment. Rinks are freezing and VH, Jr. is just soaking at the end of a game.WestwayKid wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 3:52pmI believe it. I'd play a full game and just be soaked.
