ABSTRACT:
A cap has a visor and a hole defined by its crown. The hole communicates with a pocket that extends from the hole external to the crown. The hole and pocket are sized to easily accommodate a ball to be caught, e.g. a baseball. A ball flying into the crown will be funneled by the crown through the hole and into the pocket to be trapped therein. The pocket prevents the ball from bouncing out of the cap's crown. The pocket can be folded and fastened against the crown, or concealed inside the crown, to give the cap a conventional appearance. The visor has a grip affixed to it to help a wearer securely grip the visor while trying to catch a flying ball in the crown's pocket. The force of a ball being caught releases the pocket and causes it to unfold, trapping the ball.
