Game Used MLB Hats with Personal Messages

[shafrancollectibles.com]

I just got in an interesting Manny Delcarmen Red Sox hat and it got me thinking about personal touches players put in their hats. Anybody have interesting hats - not just a player's number but some sort of personal message?

I don't know if it is appropriate to post a picture of the Delcarmen here because there are 2 curses - but it's an amazing hat!

I have Jeremy Sowers' Team USA game used cap. Inside the cap, he has written:

"Do it for Al Bundy"

I don't normally collect Team USA or Cleveland Indians gear, but this one was a classic.

Yes, I did buy it from Hunt. It was sold in a lot with many other Sowers items -- I believe there were 2 jerseys and 2 pants but can't remember if there were any other items in the lot. The only thing left is the cap.

Dwight Smith, former Cubs OF, gave me a cap at the end of the 1993 season. In addition to his number, the inscription "Shitty Smitty" was also present.

Also, Ray King sent me a Cardinals Sunday alternate GU cap a few years ago. Among other scribblings under the brim were 82 tally marks, in groups of five. I looked up his stats...82 was the number of appearances he made that season.

Here is the Delcarmen - if it's not appropriate, please delete this post.

The 9-9-07 is the date Delcarmen's son was born. As far as I can research, the "code" dates back to the '07 season as bullpen coach Gary Tuck would often wear a shirt that said "Stick To The Code"

Not gu hats, but after some drinks Mickey Mantle would sometimes include unrepeatable salutations with his autograph. Think words that start with the letter F.

I saw about a year or so ago a Robinson Cano hat with his parents name on each side under the brim.

i had seen photos of the inside of a brandon wood cap that had initials of certain family members. i want to say they were of his parents' and possibly his sister's and grandparents( at least his grandfather for certain ).
