If your profile is to believed, you're arguing from a position of enthusiastic ignorance.
Whilst I hate baseball caps on a personal level, having squinted into the rising,setting and other suns, along with ITCZ, for many many years, I can understand why some pilots choose to use them. The sun streaming through the eyebrow window onto my balding pate, I'm sure does me no good.
Further, have you considered that whilst a baseball cap doesn't protect the ears, as say an Akubra would, it does protect the eyes and bulk of the head?
