Hello everyone, Does anyone know what size cap/ batting helmet Don Kessinger wore during his career? I know someone who has a Cubs cap made by Wilson and coded for 1971. It has the number 11 under the bill, and is a size 6 7/8. He also has a flapless Cubs American Baseball Cap helmet which is an earlier one. There is no imprinted ABC logo on the back. The size sticker is the earlier small square one which is size 6 7/8. This sticker has American Baseball Cap printed on it as well as several patent numbers. The Pro Celd sticker is also present. The C on the front is an earlier one which has the white felt backing and red chain stitching. It appears that there was once a number painted inside of the open part of the C. It looks to have been scratched off
He also has a Kessinger White Sox helmet with a flap for a right handed batter. This is an ABC helmet with the logo imprinted on the back. The size on this is 7.
With this being said do these sound legit? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanking everyone in advance.
