From the AP:

SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea's love for cabbage — the key ingredient in its national dish, kimchi — apparently doesn't extend to the baseball field.
The Korea Baseball Organization ruled that wearing cabbage leaves inside a baseball cap constitutes as an "alien material" that may disrupt a game, the organization said in a statement.
The decision came after Doosan Bears pitcher Park Myung-hwan's cap fell off twice in a game last Sunday, revealing frozen cabbage leaves. He was using the vegetables to keep his head cool and no measures were taken at the time.
"What will we do if another team argues that because the cabbage leaf fell just as the pitcher was pitching, the batter got confused?" league rules committee chair Heo Koo-youn said, according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency.
Park said he had planned to give up his unusual cooling agent before the decision.
"I wasn't planning to use cabbage any longer regardless of the decision of the rules committee, so I don't care," he told Yonhap.

Is that thing frozen?
Can't Koreans should design an ice pack which can be attached/velcroed to inside of the cap. |

Everyone should know that instinctively.
It goes without saying that Cabbage has superior effects.
Especially when you make it into Kimchi.
Like, did you know that kimchi has many health benefits, and prevents cancer and SARS?
WOW What a great food!!!! |

And, when pickled, it cures SARS. |

The practice began in Korea last season after a Korean player or manager heard that Babe Ruth used to put frozen cabbage on his head to stay cool.
So it started in America.
But anything involving cabbage is gonna peak the interest of a gimchi-lovin' nation! |

I think the rule should be: "Wear a hat that doesn't fall off of your head."
Twice in one game? WTF? |
