I don’t know about swimming, but when I played high school baseball, the teams from the inner-city schools didn’t wear baseball caps, they wore shower caps - to protect their hairdos and Jerry-curls.
I made the schools force them to wash out the Sulfa 8 before wrestling.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I can’t get a headlock with that on your noggin.
It is kind of surprising how many blacks are still in baseball since kids don’t play as much as we did when we were kids. For that matter its kind of surprising that there are still white guys in baseball.
(10-0 in the top of the 8th, Tigers over the Red Sox)
Seems to be dying out.
We would regularly see them wearing rolled up old nylons for caps, rolled up paper bags, plastic bags - if they could get it to fit on their heads they would wear it.
Not seen so much anymore.
