Mattingly Game Used Hat???

[wsohlcano]

I was wondering if there are any Mattingly Experts out there.

I know he used to put the 23 under the brim & it looks like it may have been there before the autograph, Looks to be worn also,

Any opinions appreciated.

Thanks

The tagging is from between 2002 to 2005. Not 1994.

Do you think it could be from his coaching day's with the yanks?

I would say coaches hat. Signature looks good. However, all the Mattingly Yankees coaches hats, jerseys, pants, ect. that I have seen over the years have had Steiner LOAs. The lack of a Steiner hologram doesnt make it not legit, but I'd have a hard time purchasing a cap without solid provenance.
