Re: Everything Cap Related
I agree that 7 1/8 and 7 1/4 are right for Rose. I have seen mostly 7 1/8 from 1963-78 with the Reds, and mostly 7 1/4 from 1979-83 with the Phillies when his hair was especially bushy.

Re: Everything Cap Related
Thanks Tacprc for sharing that, especially for the timeline on the sizes. I once saw a 1968-1969 Pete Rose cap for sale in size 7 and I turned it down thinking it was too small for him. But then again, caps can actually be stretched to make them a size bigger by simply hooking it over the top of your shoe and pulling until you hear it pop. An equipment manager told me this was a common practice for players to do in order to increase the cap size by 1/8 and sometimes even 1/4. This puts a whole new light on matching cap sizes with players.

Re: Everything Cap Related
Does anybody have any McAuliffe hats that feature the rectangular tag (see image) that was in use in the mid 50s?
