Paul SPeter,
What I always heard was that Willie purposely removed the forehead sweatband from inside his cap, for dramatic reasons as he ran after a ball. Can't vouch for it personally.
Also, I'm a Mantle fan at heart, but I'd like to see our new post-war forum have some definitive threads, with Mays an obvious choice as one of them. And, I love seeing images, lots and lots of them, and am hoping for more from others here. I have as much of Mays's issues as I do most other HOFers and/or stars from that era, and hopefully we can get around to Clemente, Kaline, Snider, et al. But I'm already past the point of running low on my own supply of anything interesting that's Willie, other than regular Bowman and Topps types...Like this one here:
A beaut, ain't it?
