Quite a few years back I was invited to work the Little League Big League Western Region in Sacramento, CA. I showed up without any creases in my cap. (note I wrote cap and not hat.) It was quickly brought to my attention by a few fellow grizzly umpires that did some time in our countries Armed Services that we wear a "cap" and not a hat. It was also pointed out to me that it is in respect and honor that we as umpires crease our "caps" in a military fashion. In respect of those that have served, I have since ALWAYS creased my cap prior to walking on the field. I have never served in the military. Just my dos pesos.
