Trivia
- The Baker Boy is also known as a Newsboy Cap, an Apple Cap, an Eight-Panel, a Cabbie, a Jay Gatsby, a Fisherman's Cap, and a Lundburg Stetson.
- The Baker Boy is commonly associated with Newspaper boys, also called newsboys or "newsies". These were the main distributors of newspapers to the general public from the mid-19th to the early 20th century in the United States. Standing on street corners, walking through neighborhoods, and hawking their papers throughout every city, they first appeared with the rise of mass circulation newspapers. Just like the Scout, newsboys were known for being loud and intrusive. However, they tended to be among the poorest individuals of society, often seen sleeping in the streets.
