Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

I got this hat from a neighbor of Art Fowler. Supposedly the hat was received in the 90s, which fits, since the combination of tagging and MLB logo (stitched, not patch) on the back dates the cap to sometime between late 1992 (Nov/Dec) through 1996.

Sadly, Mr Fowler passed away in 2007, so there's no way for me to verify the origins of the cap, I was told that the seller was a good source, so I picked it up.

MUSEOVEN, please let me know if you can get game used items from Paulo Orlando who played Winter ball with Cardenales de Lara. He wore jersey #52.

What has you confused about it? The way it was explained to me (by a person not associated with the transaction) is that players could order whatever caps they wanted, snapback, fitted, adjusted, etc, so long as the cap was otherwise uniform to what the team was using in that game.

During the '80s and '90s, some teams wore snapback caps during spring training. I don't know whether or not any teams wore them during the regular season. In fact, I believe some actually had mesh comprise the sides and back of the crowns -- what today we call "trucker" style caps. It's not that clear, but Getty Images image 51639907 appears to show such smapback Royals cap as I think you can see the hair bulging out above the snap. At least that's the way it looks to me.

I think (though I'm probably wrong), that the mesh hats didn't have the puffy material in front that most expect with trucker hats, though.

I have just never seen a snapback used in a ML game. Then again, there aren't a ton of hats pictured from the back. I'm no expert. Just something I've never seen.

Re: The Kansas City Royals game used thread

I know I've posted a picture of my Royals bats but there are a few new additions. I just need a Billy Butler and an Aoki to have the entire starting lineup from the 2014 team. I even have bats of 2 reserves in Ibanez and Colon.

A few in this pic are no longer with the team. The Aoki is going to be a tough one.

Those old Royals jerseys are tough to beat in the looks category! Add the fact that it belonged to Brett and you have an indescribably incredible piece, congrats!
