Even on moderately hot days, the sweat gets into my eyes more often because there's no hat to absorb some of that sweat and stop it from flowing down from the top of the head. This is particularly noticeable for those of us who are "folically challenged" (bald), because there's no mop of hair to help hold back the sweat, either.

This is why I carry a small towel in my left ball bag, the one with no pockets. In between innings or action I remove the helmet, wipe my sweaty brow, fold up the towel and put it back in the bag. 7 seconds, sweat gone. I sweat a lot in hats too. When I have the bases, I usually have to wring my hat out late in the game. It gets hot here in the low desert.
