I have a small collection of ball caps that include mostly souvenir caps from our trips abroad. Among these are baseball caps I myself bought including the Atlanta Braves cap I wrote about recently. I also have a San Francisco Giants cap I got in San Francisco during their successful run about a decade ago when they were winning the World Series every other year. And then there's the San Diego Padres cap I got while visiting the city in 2015. Two are field caps, meaning they are the types players actually used in games. One is an official souvenir cap.

| This is my 25-year old Atlanta Braves cap, which is a field cap or one typically worn by players and coaches in the field of play. |

| This is my San Diego Padres cap, which I bought at the team shop at Petco Park in 2015. This is also an official on-field cap. |

| My San Francisco Giants cap, which I got in 2011, is an official souvenir cap (yes, there are many non-official caps out there). |
I did have other caps that I bought when I visited the US including a couple I got as souvenirs aboard the USS Midway museum in San Diego. One went to Tatay and another to my father-in-law. I also got one from the USS Independence when I visited Yokosuka Naval Base in 2001, which I gave to my father. Unfortunately, I think that cap got lost with the floods of Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) in 2009 - another casualty of that disaster.
More on caps later...
