Stories Hidden Under Every Ballcap, with guest Craig Colby

John Cheslock and Leroy Estep

Every baseball fan has a favorite cap.
Maybe it’s the one you wore to your first major league game. Maybe it’s faded from years of afternoon games at the ballpark. Maybe it represents your hometown, your favorite player, or a championship you’ll never forget.

For Craig Colby, every cap tells a story.

On this episode of The Baseball Book Club, Leroy spends some time with Craig Colby to discuss ALL CAPS: Stories That Justify an Outrageous Hat Collection. What begins as a book about a collection of baseball hats quickly becomes something much more meaningful—a memoir told one cap at a time.

Before becoming an author, Craig Colby spent years producing award-winning television documentaries and programs. That storytelling background shows itself throughout the book.
Stories that range from humorous to deeply emotional, with baseball serving as the common thread tying everything together, giving us the kind of book that reminds us why sports matter. And it reminds us that some of the most meaningful stories can come from odd places, like a hat rack.
