Nationals reliever whatwouldDOOdo writes for The Post: 'MLB players love our caps. The people who make them for us deserve fair wages.'
By Sean Doolittle Sean Doolittle is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. He is entering his eighth season in Major League Baseball. February 28 at 1:09 PM To baseball players, our caps are sacred. We integrate our caps into our strange routines and superstitions, removing and replacing them on our heads with ritual precision so they sit just so.
Which is why I, as a Major League Baseball player, found one offseason development in the baseball business world particularly distressing. Caps connect us to the fans who wear ones just like ours. The logos make us unofficial city representatives. They connect us to our teammates; our matching caps connote the sort of mutual pride that comes only from shared tribal affiliation.
The replica caps fans buy this year will be made in factories throughout New Era’s global supply chain, mostly in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Haiti. And because New Era’s agreement with MLB stipulates that players’ on-field caps must be produced in the United States, our official caps will be made by nonunion workers in Florida.
