*Fast-forward to 1988, now in the 13-14 division (deeper fences, more obnoxious parents). Team name: Black Sox. It was bad enough to be named for a team notorious for scandal (though also kinda cool; my attempts to get "Shoeless Robbie" on the back of my jersey were refused by the "team mother" despite a clandestine rooftop meeting in which lunch was supplied), but then there was the hat. A cheap, half-plastic-mesh-y legend. Black with the sins of our namesakes, the front featured two letters, in all their white-script glory: BS.
