mlb cap collectors

[Mike Heffner]

Hello,

At very earliest, the cap is from the 1970's. I have handled a good number of caps including Yankees over the years and have never seen a post 1950's Yankees cap with the name stitched in. The Old Timers game and coaching caps that I have seen have had the numbers written under the brims to identify the player or coach.

Just my 2 cents.

Not that this helps, but here are the lastest pics I could find of Joe D in uniform

1980


Undated from 1980s (since maris is in it, the latest it could be is 1985)
