I like wearing my Seattle Mariners ballcap. It keeps my head warm and dry 
in the winter. It protects my scalp from being fried in the sun, and it 
keeps the sun out of my eyes. I can dunk it in water and use it to cool my 
head as well. I've used it as a lens shade on several occasions.

That's why.

Tom
