As far as the flag on hat thing goes, the following is a paragraph from Section 4 of the US Flag Law and Regulations:
No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
I can't help it if the good citizens of MLB cannot read, nor care to pay attention, but I for one, have been aware of this since my first month in the Navy in 1970 and have abided by it since and have no intention on changing. Actually, I do not believe such a mandate exists is ASA, but I will be more than happy to blast them should I read that it is.
