GU Yankees Cap Experts Please Help
 
So... Somewhere in the dim recesses of this 66-year-old mind lies the history of this cap. But I'll be damned if I can remember anything about it. I emailed MEARS, since it bears their sticker, but no reply.
Can anyone provide any info as to the approximate years this style and manufacturer cap was in use?
Thanks!

PS: The cap is available.

I think that style of New Era flag logo tag was use in the early to mid 2000s.

could be Ted Lilly (who wore #61 during that time period)

That specific tagging indicates game-use from 2002 - 2004. See the link below...

No rostered players wore # 61 during 2002 or 2003. So if it's from one of those years, it could be a Spring Training example or a Coach's Cap.

In 2004, two players wore # 61 for the Yankees.... Brad Halsey and Juan Padilla. So most likely, it belonged to one of those two players.

Hope this helps,
Mark
