That's a good shot. I notice a lot of Open Road type hats too. It being Oklahoma, this would have been very common, I think. Lot's of hats, although there are some hatless in the crowd as well.

And just think, they probably ALL had a bad game the following week! The curse of the Sports Illustrated cover!

About 60% Open Roads, I think.

thanks for the pic rlk is great to see all the different bashes and or creases in that crowd. Hats as they were worn and for the purpose they were invented, the folks with out lids must have been miserable. Hey is the guy in the bottom of the frame right over the 7381 wearing a ball cap?

[Michael Carter]

Sure does look like it. I see a lot of c-crowns being worn. Seems to be the majority.

Yes he is. He must be a time-traveler.
