Nostalgia auction house LELANDS brought another special piece of baseball history to the block. This is fitted baseball cap belonged to the legendary “Babe” Ruth, aka Great Bambino aka the Sultan of Swat. Fear the Curse of the Bambino. This Red and Navy Boston Braves cap was worn by Ruth during his final season as a professional ball player. Best known as a New York Yankee, Ruth was sold in 1934 to the Massachusetts franchise, finishing his days in uniform there. In a historic 20+ year career, Babe Ruth racked up 714 Home Runs, 2,873 hits, sent 2,217 players to home base, and maintained a .342 career batting average. The auction closed on December 4th, 2009 at a staggering $30,250.00

The aftermath of the recent looting has brought much publicity and support for THE HOLY GRAIL. Down but not defeated the consignment shop for caps and licks will re-open for business June 20th 2009 at 12pm. The staff will be accepting items for consignment as well. In celebration, there will be live music and much more.

ATHLETE ATHLETE scores another piece of history. This museum quality piece is from the 19th century. Pictured here is part of the evolution of the fitted baseball cap. This vintage baseball cap dates from the 1890’s and was manufactured by Spalding Sporting Goods. The crown is floppy and unstructured which, which was called the Boston Style. This rare find was graded EX-MT to NR-MT and is now very sold out. Nonetheless a hot conversation piece that would be more appropriate behind glass than on your head.
