David Freese just accepted the MVP for the World Series with his frickin ballcap on backwards. He was eloquent, and respectful.
But WTF is it with this backwards ball cap thing? It don't matter most of the time, but it seems sometimes there are places where it's just indicative of some clueless hick. If it is going to interfere with the camera, simply remove your hat, son.

Good book on the subject "Tough Jews" - about the Jewish gangs and gangsters. One can "blame" the Jews for the rum-runners. One of the wheeler dealers (Arnold "the Brain" Rothstein) got approached by two guys for some backing on smuggling a small boat load of liquor over the border. He said he'd think about it - and a couple days later made his counter-offer. Smuggle a ship load in, and he'd cut them in on the profits. "And thus, and American institution was born..."
Also "the ride", as in "Take him for ...". And many other colorful idioms and pastimes of the 20th century.
"Meier Lansky. Buggsy Seigel. Even Jews. Do thing illegal."
Of course the smart money had got out before the big investigations in the 50s.
