there have been an ton of circumstances that have promted me to write this.
i didnt want to hijack the Pete Rose cap thread, but it sort of goes along with that theme.
i had an opportunity to purchase a couple of very nice caps today. one was a former Cardinals first baseman and one of the current cardinals first baseman.
both caps were Sunday alternates , showed use, had numbers under the bill and both had different tagging, which is what i would expect.
however, to me, it seems so easy for a shady dealer or "collector" to doctor up a "team issued" cap.
i wasnt informed enough to make the purchase and i am questioning myself now if i did the right thing by passing them up.
the McGwire was a 7 5/8 i believe and the Pujols was 7 1/4
not that this would be a cure all, but i'd like to have some sort of database to reference to as far as cap sizes or possibly player characteristics. maybe throw in some sort of tagging and wear patterns or something.
it was incredibly difficult to make a decision on whether to purchase or not. it sucks. maybe they were good. maybe not and i did the right thing.
any thoughts or is there something already available??
