Re: New pick-ups
Hi Guys,
I traded for the hat under the understanding that it was for Babe Ruth, with a good chance that it was during the time he spent with the Red Sox. Although I agree completly that it would be hard to tell that it was from 1919 or so, and could be from the Yankee era (heaven forbid <G>), I thought the piece was pretty neat and could have a POSSIBLE Royal Rooter history to it. I know there are plenty of photos of Fenway Park at this time with the fans sporting similar caps.
The fellow I traded for it said Josh Evans saw it and thought it was from the BoSox era. Who knows. Lelands did have a very similar Hat Band in a recent auction, http://www.lelands.com/bid.aspx?lot=907&auctionid=512 , which they claim is Boston related.
I'm in a good mood today, Tavares actually pitched a full game last night. Will miracles never cease?
Here's another fun item I picked up over the summer. Good talking to you guys.
