Usually, if spring training hats get noticed, it is due to a new logo on the front. Teams experiment a bit at times with those ballcaps, trying different designs or color schemes to see what works. However, that was not what drew the ire of Chicago White Sox prospect Jake Burger.

His complaint is that the markers of those trucker style hats forgot something very important. Let’s have Burger show that issue himself:

One would think that whoever designed those hats would have considered any such issues. But that is clearly not the case as Burger now has a very strange tan line on his head. Fortunately, as a ballplayer, he has an excuse to wear a hat constantly until that tan fades away. Or he could just look to regrow his hair temporarily.

Sunscreen is not necessarily an option either. Even if it is waterproof, the sunscreen is eventually going to run due to sweat, and no one wants to have to deal with that during a game. That is especially the case in the batter’s box of it a ball is being hit in his direction.

But it could always be worse for Burger. He could be PGA golfer Stewart Cink, whose ridiculous hat tans deserve their own Twitter account if one has not already been created. While Burger’s picture will get some attention, he is not going to receive the notoriety, or the ridicule, that Cink receives for his interesting tan lines.

Kimbrel may not leave White Sox after all. dark. Next

Chicago White Sox prospect Jake Burger is not a fan of the new hats that MLB is using in spring training. He has the tan lines to show why.
