Top 5 #5: Favorite AL East Team Hats
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2015 3:40 pm
At first I was going to do my Top 5 favorite hats of all-time. I couldn't do it. I have a hard time narrowing down my top 5 favorite Cubs hats, I couldn't do all of MLB at once.
Then I was going to do AL and NL separate, still couldn't do it.
So now I'm down to divisions. I could have gone just by division, but I might have used 2 Boston hats, 2 Orioles hats and 1 Yankees; so I'm going to limit myself to 1 hat from each team. 6 divisions of 5 teams for a total of 30 hats.
I'll do all 6 divisions over the next couple weeks, but today we start with the AL East.
The Top 5 Favorite Hats in the AL East
#5: 2001-2007 Tampa Bay Devil Rays................
Ok, I know they're not the Devil Rays anymore, but this is their best hat
#4: 1977-1993 Toronto Blue Jays...................
This is the first hat for the franchise. They have used variations of it over the years, but this is still the best.
#3: 1949-Present NY Yankees................
Classic hat! There were very slight changes made to the hat design over the first 30 years of the franchise, but this hat has stood the test of time.
#2: 1966-1988 Baltimore Orioles...............
The bird changed some over this period, but this is basically the hat.
#1: 1974-1978 Boston Red Sox..............
Blue "B" on a red panel, enough said.
