DIlemma solved
I decided to go with the baseball cap. Not only did my eight year old come to the game, but my five year old and 2 year old, along with my wife, came. The cap, as you might expect, was soaked from the brim to the back with the stench of defeat, as we lost again, this time 12-3.
Back up goalie, down two players, playing the best team in the league. But there are no excuses. Only wins and losses.

my last real job, I decided to not wear a yarmulka. I don't know if it was a mistake, but the job was a disaster and I quit/became an independent contractor after nine miserable months.
My brother, who worked in a very visible position for a major broadcasting company never went to work without his yarmulka on -- not ever! He lasted about 9 years, two months longer than me at that particular job.
I decided a few years ago to always wear a kippa to work. That way, when I wouldn't go out to lunch with the guys, or stay late on friday night, they would know why.
I don't know if it ever held me back. I was promoted twice within nine months of being hired, and was very visible in the company serving on many different committees and work groups, and training people. Still, when I tried to get another position within the company I did not get it. Still, I don't think it was the Kippa that held me back.
When I interned for various raio stations, i always wore my kippa to work, and i always use the name shauli, instead of of sol, or something easier to say. I nevr had a problem, and it had a big upside, since i stood out a little, peopel remembered who I was when I would meet them later on
