story about the caps, that I hadn't heard about until now
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/after-cap-flap-mets-want-to-wear-hats-honoring-emergency-workers-every-sept-11/2011/09/12/gIQACwctNK_story.html

(snip)
Mets player representative Josh Thole hopes to come to an agreement soon with Major League Baseball on a policy that would allow his team to wear emergency service-department caps during games on Sept. 11 every year.

Thole called the players’ association Monday, a day after the Mets were denied their request to wear caps honoring first responders on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. He said he wanted to discuss marketing and licensing possibilities but had not heard back.

(snip)
Caps similar to the ones the Mets wore during the game Sunday — with an American flag patch on the side — are on sale at mets.com for $36.99. An authenticator collected the first-responder hats used during the on-field tribute, and they will be sold on the site, as well, with proceeds going to charity.
