My father, born 1906, was a great Dodgers baseball fan. He said it was the custom amongst ball fans to buy their summer skimmer for the first game of the season. They wore it to all the games they attended that summer. At the end of the last game of the season they all "skimmed" their hats onto the ball field!
He lived in Brooklyn and worked until WWII as the Assistant Engineer in charge of the Brooklyn Bridge. The Engineer of the bridge was a political appointee who left the day to day running of the bridge to my father. He also related playing poker with Jimmy Walker!
