Better to lose the hat than the head ...

Just a thought ... why did the Pirates wear those "pirate" hats? Was that
just a popular hat of the time?

Always wondered about that one.

Black Beard with a Red Sox hat would be a little weird though.

I'm glad to have started a discussion about an important aspect of
seamanship but everyone is taking my original post way too seriously

I'm glad to hear though that other people have their baseball caps blow
off often enough to have to resort to the methods described here.
