Sadly, ASA continues to put flags on the hats, and my non-flag hats are starting to look too worn.
All I'm saying is screw ups happen. That doesn't make them members of the umpires underground terrorist movement.

Well, I think it was a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11. It was optional in 2002, but became mandatory in 2003.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. I was surprised to sit in the Cheers replica bar in Boston, only to find the American flag hung vertically against a wall with the stars in the upper-right.
I mean, come on. Boston! City that's RICH in American history! Hanging the flag wrong? Not cool.
I pulled our waitress aside and informed her of the mistake. She said, "wow... in all these years I've been working here, no one has ever pointed that out to me."
