....so I'm I throw this out to the board. There are 3 or 4 Buccos who wear their hat over their ears. I tried it myself and found it to be very uncomfortable. What is that all about?
Ok.....no one in my family can explain something to me......

If you're referring to Roudriguez, pretty sure he has a do rag on underneath.
At any case, the best thing I can come up with is they seem to get new hats almost every game and breaking in a brand new fitted ball cap takes some time.

I was at a high school game the other day and some of the kids were wearing them like that as well. Very odd. No idea why they do that.
If tomorrow Andrew McCutchen started wearing his hat backwards, sooner or later another guy would do it, and then another. After a while half the league would be doing it. Back in my day they called it a fad. Maybe they still do.
Watching the Bucs-Cards, I like the retro mustard Buc hats and retro unis. As to the big hats maybe they are trying to be Ricky Fowler. I want a mustard Buc hat.
I attended the very first game in which tge Bucs wore those hats. First game in 3 Rivers Stadium.
If they wore a snapping turtle from the river on their heads it would be cool with me as long as they beat STL.
Agree. It is very distracting and very unpleasant. Would be hilarious if Miles Sanders was seated next to him.
My impression is its part of hip hop, urban, or ghetto fashion attempting to go more mainstream. Part of the same movement as caps with flat bills and stickers, cocked caps, excessive bling, pants on the ground, long baggy tees, you name it. It all looks ridiculous to me, particularly on the baseball field, but what do I know -- I'm just an old white guy who still bends the bill of his baseball caps!
Likely arranged by agents trying to start a new fad. Of course, there would be $$$$ involved.
First they get to sell bigger hats to all the kids. Then they get to sell regular hats to them all over again once the fad meets it's demise.
You must first explain the pants down where most of your boxers are hanging out. That is no less uncomfortable, I would think.
I see a lot of the young crowd wearing ball caps in this manner. I watch a lot of dirt bike racing, which, like most sports, is for the younger crowd. And most of the professional riders wear their hats like that.
Just something else to be different about, if you ask me.
But that isn't the reason kids do it. They do it to "fit in" with the crowd they chose to fit in with.
Ha! My wife has been doing that for a decade. It keeps the sun off of her ears (a little). I tease her and tell her it looks goofy but she keeps doing it.
My guess is that its a fashion fad...a way to differentiate while wearing a uniform. A could of years ago, they started wearing their hats cockeyed but the league clamped down on it (CC Sabathia was one of the key guys here).

Kind of like the numbers on the helmet in college football. A few schools started doing it and everyone copied it. We still have people calling for them even though the fad died out long time ago.
I especially liked the fad where athletes put their home phone area code on their eye black. That was just awesome.
