Have always wondered?

When much younger and in the Army, I noticed what I thought was disproportional baldness among older soldiers Hence, the correlation between always wearing hats and baldness. I always figured the hat rim cut circulation to the scalp causing hair to fall out. I rarely wear a hat and have a full head of hair at 77.

lol...hats do not cause baldness.
Though folks going bald...tend to wear hats.

Really? Then why do so many pro baseball players have a bald spot in the center of their head?

WHY???, do people wear baseball hats on backwards??? What could be the reason?, other than looking macho!
Don't these people, (mostly young folks) know that wearing the stupid looking backward baseball hat all the time causes premature baldness! Just wondering, wondering about a lot of things lately, must be the times, malvin

They are hiding the tattoos on their neck so you will focus on the ones on their forehead.

Ken Griffey Jr. may have started the trend early in his career with the Seattle Mariners. I am sure he probably wasn't the only person to ever wear a ball cap backwards but at least in Seattle he helped make it a trend.
Additionally, Jay Buhner of the Mariners was an early adopter of the shaved head look as well as a goatee and sure enough they became popular in Seattle. The Mariners even sponsored a Jay Buhner shave your head night each summer.
In closing, clothing is about trends and backward ball caps are current trend. NO harm, NO foul.

I agree that wearing a baseball hat with brim in back looks stupid! The solution is from Sherlock Holmes whose hat is iconic...

It was considered cute back in the "Our Gang" comedies of the mid 30's when one of the gang's kids wore his cap backwards. These old black & white shorts had a revival on TV in the early 50's and brainless adults adopted it as a fad and now a fashion. They may as well wear a fez.

Anecdotal evidence will yield anecdotal results.
Hats don't cause baldness.

Maybe because traditionally they lined up and removed their caps for the National Anthem before games.

I only wore my baseball hat backwards once: when I played catcher. And, that was about the last time I wore a baseball hat (age 10).
The best comment I ever heard about a "backward baseball hat" was on the TV show "Cheers." Ted Danson told a guy who came into the bar "Turn that hat around. You couldn't be half as stupid as you look with the hat turned around backwards!"

Better than a comb-over. You could cut the rim off and make a beanie out of what's left.....Howdy Doody.

Speaking of wondering, has anyone actually, ever seen a chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough?
YES!
It WAS a thing.
Back in the day, it was my job to keep them out of it, while my great-grandmother cooked the rest of supper.
The dough had to be left out to rise and the darned chickens would try to get at it, because it was sweet.
Yes, this was over fifty years ago, in the country, in the South, with no air conditioning on the family farm, so all the windows and doors stayed open, giving the animals free run of the house, if you let them. (Chickens were too stupid to stay out.)
(By the way, "Granny" always followed with "Ain't my dog".)
