I can't help but notice when baseball caps make appearances on TV shows and Movies.
Recently, I've been watching MASH, a wildly popular TV series from the 1970's that is based upon the experience of three doctors during the Korean Conflict.
What exactly was the Korean Conflict?
On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. The United States came to the aid of South Korea.
Back to baseball caps.
One of the characters, Cpl/Sgt. Maxwell Q. Klinger frequently wears a Toledo Mud Hens cap.
Hmmm....
Looks a lot like at a 1972 Texas Rangers cap to me.
Turns out it is a Texas Rangers cap.
"The baseball cap worn by Klinger (and on occasion, Col. Potter), starting in the eighth season is supposed to be a Toledo Mud Hens cap, but it was actually a Texas Rangers cap, that the Rangers wore in the 1970s and early 1980s."
I couldn't believe that I found a source to back up my observation.
I explained this to my find to my wife...but she didn't care.
