In 1982 the surprising Brewers stormed their way to the top of the American League for their first World Series appearance twelve years after moving to Milwaukee (from Seattle) as the expansion Pilots. Unlike their American League opponents the National League's St. Louis Cardinals were no strangers to postseason play as they prepared to enter their thirteenth Fall Classic. The offered baseball was used to make the final out in Game 7 of a thrilling Series that saw the victorious "Redbirds" emerge with their ninth crown in franchise history.
In Game 7 at Busch Stadium the Cardinals trailed 3-1 when they came up in the bottom of the sixth. But after a single a double a pitching change and a walk Keith Hernandez's two-run single tied the game and George Hendrick followed with another single to put St. Louis ahead 4-3. The Cards added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth and Cards manager Whitey Herzog called upon relief ace Bruce Sutter to slam the door. Sutter the Godfather of the Splitter finished off Milwaukee with two perfect relief innings as Gorman Thomas struck out swinging for the final out.
Presented here is Bruce Sutters game used and autographed cap from the 1982 World Series. The New Era Pro Model cap (unable to identify size as tag well worn) features Sutters number "42" in black marker under bill at center. "82 World Series Sutter" is neatly printed to the left side under bill. Cap exhibits heavy use with sweat staining noticeable on the inside front. Signed by Sutter on the bill right below the "STL" in 9/10 looking black felt tip pen "82 Series Bruce Sutter". The cap was given to our consignor by longtime Cardinals equipment manager Butch Yatkeman.
