After collecting just about everything and anything baseball-related over the past half century, I can't think of any genre of collectable I find more satisfying collecting than caps. In the three years since I started this thread, my collection has grown by leaps and bounds, but I'm still making new discoveries, and the competition isn't too fierce — unlike pinbacks, for instance.
Here are a few of my more recent pickups, along with a link to gallery of all my caps. Included below are the early 50s Fort Worth Cats (worn by Rex Barney), the late 60s Asheville Tourists (Reds farm club), a late 40s Oakland Oak kids cap and a late 50s White Sox cap (one of the last MLB caps made by Spalding). The White Sox cap was the final one I needed to get all 16 of the original pre-expansion MLB caps. https://chris-counts.pixpa.com/galleries/gallery-31 |

Randy Johnson ML debut hat
Not as old as many of the hats on this great thread, but here are some pics of the hat that Randy Johnson very likely wore in his ML debut.
It was given by the Expos equipment manager that befriended a young Mets fan in NY immediately after The Big Unit won his 1st ML game & 1st strikeout against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Montreal. |

Nolan Ryan game used Angels, Astros and Rangers hats
Here are some great Nolan Ryan game used hats from when he played on the Angels (1976), Astros (1981 and 1985) and Rangers (1993).
All hats have impeccable provenance. Enjoy! Last edited by Scott Garner; 01-05-2021 at 07:35 PM. |

Thanks Ben, it's sort of a poor man's Brooklyn Dodgers cap, right down to the white button on top. I don't suspect Rex Barney was too happy to wear it, though, back in 1951. I looked him up, and he pitched just 14 innings for Ft. Worth, and walked 39 batters. Considering he threw very hard and batting helmets were only beginning to be used, it must have been frightening to face him as batter.

While I can appreciate the MLB caps...
Does anyone have any 19th century pillbox or early-1900s specimens they can post? .... I'd post 'em if I had 'em. |

Spectacular as always Mark, and I hope all is well with you lately. I love the green piping on the short brim. Great caps!

Thanks Gary and Brent...
Brent, that green one was tailored to match the uniform (which I have as well). The lime green piping and pinstripes match the Uni to a tee. It's a Draper & Maynard specimen from the 20s. So much pride in workmanship back then! |
