Bostonist caught up with the Boston Tweed Ride as it paused at the Weeks Foot Bridge on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.

A Red Sox hat is ubiquitous. (Note to Yankees fans: That means lots of people wear them in lots of places.) Sox fans, young and old, near and far away, wear them. Celebrities flaunt them even when they are celebrities we don't want sporting Sox gear. Stores are filled with them for us to buy. And, as we all know, there are many of them to choose from. There is now another hat to pick from. Why, in the name of Dr. Charles Steinberg, do we need a watermelon scratch-n-sniff Sox hat? Is there a reason for this abomination? Theo? Larry? Mr. Henry? Can someone explain this to Bostonist?

A gentleman wears a hat. A baseball cap is not a hat, guys. It’s a piece of sporting equipment (you’re welcome to wear your baseball cap anywhere it’s appropriate to wear your jockstrap). Leave the baseball cap in the locker room. The ubiquitous scally cap (and its bastard child, the Kangol) is a hat – but it makes anyone who wears it look like a golf caddy or newboy. Sorry, Samuel L. Jackson, but it’s true.
