Good choices for patriotic caps, as well.

The Mets at least, wore the caps with the American Flag on the side until Memorial Day of 2008, and I think the rest of MLB did as well.

All teams wore American flag hats from 2001-08? Or am I misunderstanding you?

All I can guarantee you is that the NY Mets wore te caps with the flag on the side until the year 2008 when it started I don't know for sure. I would assume other teams followed the same trend as the Mets in 2008, but I'm not positive and haven't dug into it too much.

You've got it pretty well covered. The flag caps were worn from 2001-07...then the specially designed caps were introduced in 2008. Teams only wore them on Memorial Day, July 4th and September 11th, except for 2001, when they were worn after the resumption of play following the 9/11 terrorist attacks for every game for the rest of the season.

Dave, I know the Mets for sure wore the team caps with the side flag in 2008, but I'm not sure about the rest of the league. They only wore them on Memorial Day, and then on July 4th wore the red, white, and blue caps. Some teams in 2008 also wore those style caps, when their opponenets didn't like the Nationals. I included some pictures, of the examples I discussed. The first is Matt Wise in 2008 with the flag cap, and the second is a picture of the Nationals wearing the red, white, and blue caps but the Mets didn't wear those style caps in the game. The Nats wore those caps up until September 15 unlike everyone else.
