The Baseball Cap

peak

In the 1840s, baseball teams such as the Knickerbockers from New York City wore a variety of different hats to
protect their eyes from the sun. The first team to wear something similar to modern caps was the Brooklyn
Excelsiors in 1860. These hats or caps were called the Brooklyn Style.
The front part of the cap, called the peak, was softer and shorter than that of the caps we have today. Also, the
caps were made of wool or cotton, while most of todays caps are polyester. Like today, the main part of the
cap had six smaller parts with a button on the top. Also, a team usually had its name or symbol on the front of
the cap, so people could recognise them. And, of course, the cap was the same colour as the teams colours.
The modern cap first appeared in the 1940s, when hat makers used rubber in the peak to make it harder and
longer to protect the player. The caps also came in different sizes, but today baseball caps can fit anyone,
because you can change the size from the back.
Today, baseball players are not the only players with baseball caps. Other athletes wear them too, including
tennis players and golfers. In fact, people wear them when they play any outdoor sport and need to protect their
eyes from the sun. And theyre not only useful for athletes. Police officers and construction workers wear similar
caps for the same reason. They are also a fashion statement for many young people.

A lucky photo
by Jack Owens

My friend Tim has always loved photography and has asked me a million times to go
with him to theforest and take photos of the wildlife there. Ive always said no, because the idea of
looking at sometrees all day doesnt seem at all interesting. Anyway, last week I agreed to go with him.
He told me thathe wanted to take a photo to enter a competition, and needed someone to help him

carry his equipment. The journey there wasnt too long, and the forest was a beautiful place to be. But I
was bored after an hour, and we couldnt leave because Tim didnt have any good pictures yet. So, I
started playing games on my mobile phone. Put that thing away, Tim said. Just enjoy nature. Shortly
after, we started walking again and then Tim stopped suddenly. He pointed at a tree and said
quietly, Thats a rufous hummingbird. Ive never seen one of them before! Tim put down his bag, got
his equipment out and started cleaning the lens on his camera. However, the hummingbird flew
from the tree and came to a flower next to me. I wanted to shout to Tim to quickly take a picture of it,
but I knew the hummingbird would fly away. So, I took a picture with my mobile phone. When Tim was
finally ready, the hummingbird was not there anymore and he was very annoyed. He didnt manage to
take any good pictures that day, but on our way back to the car, I showed him the picture of the
hummingbird on my mobile phone. He couldnt believe it. Its perfect! he said. In the end, we entered
my photo into the competition and won second prize in the Nature category.
