At the ballpark the announcer asks men to remove their hats during the anthem. I always thought it was silly that he doesn't ask everyone to remove their hats, since men and women alike are wearing baseball caps, equally essential to their outfits. I always remove my cap.
Of course it annoys the rest of the country when we shout "O!" for Orioles, but that's their problem. We do it before Ravens games too for some reason.
This is in the town where the national anthem was written, after its citizens drove the British back down the Chesapeake Bay after Washington rolled over and let the Brits stroll through, torching everything in their path.
