Sam2: To say its a lie is a little to strong. When one looks he/she will find that the MB does in fact quote the Chayei Adam suggesting that one must wear a hat when Davening. However if one notices the wording of both scholars one will surely find it is clearly noted that the reason to do so is because of the culture in which one finds oneself. Thus being the case it does seem as if in our western culture one would not be required to wear a hat rather a tie would seem to be more befitting.
