It makes you want to grab it, stomp it and give a kick to the gutter. The hat people, the hat.

So why's Jake wearing it? Well there's has to be at least 10 (slightly amusing) reason why he might.
10. No pay but teaching ten classes of Soul Cycle and you get a free hat.
9. Try to get a little street cred for all the soccer dad driving a familly truckster demographic.

8. Wearing it in protest for the way the Sox have been playing this season.
7. Some told him he was their "little damn Yankee"

6. When WME told him they wanted him to get a little darker image he took it all the way to the Evil Empire ( Yankees)
5. If he can't have a LBD, he'll have a not so little black hat instead.
4. Going with a bandana seemed a little to Hankie.

3. It's the only hat that can get drawn on, chewed on, or spilled on and he doesn't care.
2. Won a bet against Jeter, he got the hat, instead of the beard.
And 1.
Because everyone knows black makes you everything appear smaller.
