Re: Game Used MLB Hats with Personal Messages

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

Not a hat but, I have Posada's pants he wrote his wife and his 2 kids names on the inseam.

that would be cool, especially after reading about his son many surgeries to correct a rare health problem. his wife is a trooper too.

Posada adds that touch to many, but not all, his pants. He has also added it to his jersey on occasion.

I believe David Wright puts his grandparents initials inside his hats but I have not seen one first-hand.

I owned a few Red Sox 2007 WS hats and a couple players wrote messages - it seems the Sox guys do it more than most other teams.

It is not a major league cap, but I have Jon Lester's cap from 2007 in Pawtucket when he was making it back up to Boston on rehab it has his number under the brim and he wrote a passage "I do things through Christ who strengthens me" its a pretty strong message from a cancer survivor I had him sign it in spring training in 08 and gave me the 3rd degree untill I told him where I got it. I also got a cap from Jermaine Van Burren at the end of the season in Pawtucket that was loaded with pinetar and still is. I just can't figure out what a pitcher would need pinetar on the bill of his cap for.??????? Hmmmm no idea

Re: Game Used MLB Hats with Personal Messages

Here are the 2 game used hats I own, they are already posted in the Detroit Tigers GU thread, but not all of you look at that so I figured you might like to see them. Also, I know Tigerdale already posted a Granderson hat, but this is the one from my collection. Placido Polanco road Tigers hat(with his kids names) and Curtis Granderson home Tigers hat(with "Dont think, have fun").

One of my German Duran hats has crosses, "TLIMS", "Play Hard", "Have Fun", and a couple more things inside the bill.

Sometime in the mid 90's, circa 94-95 seasons, Frank Thomas began to inscribe "DBTH" to his hat(s) and other items. By 1995, Frank had been in the big for 4 seasons and 50% of those saw him winning the AL MVP Award. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE was his way to stay focused and within himself. I have seen these in other Thomas collectors collections but have yet to get my hands on one.

So, in other words, you have a cap from "The Dave Clark Five"???

(ok I admit that was terrible, but I am sure I was not the only one to think it!!! )

That funny may go over some of the younger members' heads, though.
