Sorry Rich, I care.

For the most part, we don't. It's just a difference of opinion. Perhaps there needs to be more effort put into understanding that "different" does not equal "wrong".
We're used to adjustable hats in LL. They're a LOT cheaper and we can buy them ahead of time and have them ready rather than waiting to measure the head size of the kids that make a team, or learning who's on the volunteer umpire crew this year.

All of the umpires' shirts had some LL central region words/logo above the breast pocket. Maybe I'm wrong, but I assume those shirts were provided by LL. Some of the umpires on TV yesterday looked like Marines, and some were pretty chubby. If LL is able to invest the money into different shirt sizes, why can't they spend the extra money for different hat sizes.* Come on Ives, these are ESPN games. Any game shown on ESPN is important enough for fitted hats. Weren't the teams wearing fitted hats anyways?
*Gerry Davis, +POS, and Honig's all sell fitted hats for the same price as the adjustable hats.
