The Angels are wearing a black patch. What's it for?

I believe it's a patch for Dr. Lew Yocum who passed away last week. I saw a pic of it somewhere but I can't recall where....it may have been here?

And Dr. Lew Yocum is....... ?

And Dr. Lew Yocum is....... ?

http://www.latimes.c...0,7017064.story

Dr. Lewis Yocum, the longtime Angels team physician and a giant in the world of sports orthopedic medicine, died over the weekend after quietly battling liver cancer, the team announced Tuesday. He was 65.

Yocum, who was in his 36th season with the Angels, was among the nation’s most-renowned sports surgeons, one who saved the careers of countless professional athletes, many of them major-league and minor-league pitchers who underwent Tommy John surgery.

Regarding the Indians stars and stripes cap...

It seems as though they will be wearing their navy alternate. They tend to wear the wahoo cap with their navy alternate and white home uniform. Since the cap is gray I'm guessing they'll wear navy on the road.

So the White Sox are wearing their BP caps in Seattle tonight. My guess is it's a superstition thing to snap the six-game skid they are currently on. With the gray jerseys, they don't look too bad (gray bills on otherwise normal cap). I think it's the first time for them.

Do we have a thread with the full list of teams that have worn the BPs this year?

It sucks to see teams like the Giants and Sox (both) wearing their BP's and the Rockies who finally put a logo I have been vying for, for years haven't.

Awesome to see the White Sox wearing a silver bill hat finally. It should be worn with the black alternate, aswell.

Ironically, they also wore the hat against the Mariners, who also should bring back their silver bill hat.

Finally, someone who sees eye to eye with me on the silver bill. I feel like that hat gets no love. Would look perfect paired with the 1999-2000 navy alt jerseys, resurrected.

Also, Rockies BP cap logo is a terrible cap logo as well. Looks awkward and minor league-ish and an actual downgrade from the current 'CR' logo.

IMO, they didn't execute it correctly. In order for the mountains to actually work on a cap, it'd have to be something closer to this...

Perhaps without the purple on the brim.

I don't think so,Tim x2

The White Sox have a classic look and should wear only one cap forever. Silver brims are fine for BP and fashion caps, but should never see the field. And the Mariners already did that crap, then went into the dark ages, of which they are hopefully coming out. They need to feature teal, not silver.

Where's the gratuitous Office Space "This is horrible, this idea" picture?

Well as far as lights out's concept I don't like the purple on the bill (what is that supposed to be), I would like for the mtns to be ~15% smaller and keep the ball and flight path of the ball. Without the aforementioned the mtns are too "flat" with too much dead space. I do agree that the bottom of the mtns should touch the bill, I do think the bill would need to be entirely purple as well.

McCall the Rockies are a 93 expansion team and honestly, almost every team has a letter on their hat. It would be a good way to distance themselves from the crowd and help to emphasize the purple and mtns as the new direction for the franchise. 2007 is finally far enough away that the club feels comfortable ditching the black and silver drab in favor of more PURPLE!

Also, I'm pretty sure the Sox BP bill is gray now. Matched the jerseys pretty well. Definitely not the metallic silver bills they had on those old caps.

What year did the Stars and Stripes style caps debut? Any resource floating around that shows what the style looked like each year?

First year was 2008, I'm almost positive.

2008: all navy

2009: all red
