Instead of a baseball cap!

Hobbs also came back 16 years after the shooting. That would mean the Babe Ruth type in the spats that he whiffed on three pitches would have had to been in the early 20's, no later. If it were any later, it would mean he had his only season in the 40's, and that just wasn't the case. So if you do the math, that makes it about 1936-1937.

Now I am beginning to get the era and the timeline straight in that movie. Thanks.

Man, what a topic here...we've gone from hats to music to movies back to music then movies again. Isn't this a great forum? These topic threads are more interesting than some of the in-person conversations I have with some of my friends. It's great that some guys from different parts of the country can hang out and chat about some varied mutual interests. Role out that cracker barrell!

Yeah, our conversations tend to be sort of boring that way. LOL
I tend to find out more things just by following along. This was a case in point.
Bartender, pour that man a drink! I will move up to the cracker barrel here. LOL

I SHOULD keep things on track, but with so many intellegent people with so many great things to offer.....it's nice to let the good ideas flow!

Ok, ok, so I have 6 fingers on each hand...that makes it 1939 for me!(or was that '41?) LOL . In the hats situation, considering it was still the depression, the mix of 20's and 30's styles doesn't surprise me, as some folks had the bucks to replace their worn out head gear, and some didn't. I think it was well done. Regards. Michaelson
