Barry Zito has good reason for wearing Dodgers hat on 'Masked Singer'

Former Giants and A's pitcher Barry Zito has a good reason for his "controversial" choice of headwear.

The "controversy" came in a wrap-up episode after his elimination from "The Masked Singer" last week. Zito, a 15-year Southern California resident, wore a Los Angeles Dodgers hat during "The Masked Singer: After The Mask" and he instantly got flack.

That didn't mean Zito forgot about winning two World Series rings with the Giants -- the Dodgers' biggest rivals -- or that he turned his back on orange and black. Zito told NBC Sports Bay Area he picked up the hat in a pinch.
