July 4^th weekend has always signaled the official start of Real summer fun for me.  Schools let out in late June in the NY/NJ area, so July 4^th weekend is always the start of fun in the sun.  We celebrate the birth of our nation
with all things Americana:  a family BBQ, a day by the pool, fireworks at the high school football stadium, and NYY
baseball. 

For July 4^th weekend the NYY, along with all the other teams in MLB will wear patriotic caps.  The cap is a marvel of red, white or blue with stars and stripes.  What makes it a marvel is year after year, it just looks wrong. 
It’s not that it is that ugly, although it just isn’t eye pleasing and I hear some of the players grumble about it. 
It just doesn’t resemble the team colors
