Spurgeon Ferdinand “Spud” Chandler was a no-nonsense, take-charge hurler who went after opposing hitters as if they were mortal enemies. The intensity with which he patrolled the area around the pitching rubber sent a clear message to the batter: I will not lose. You will have to beat me. Despite a late start and an uncooperative elbow, the blue-eyed, blond-haired Georgian was on six World Series championship teams. He won an American League Most Valuable Player Award and set a modern record for career winning percentage that still stands.
Chandlers late-1930’s Yankees cap features the Spalding manufacturer’s tag on the leather interior band. Adjacent is “7-1/4” along with player name “S. Chandler” stitched in script lettering. On the front is the team’s iconic vintage interlocking “NY” logo embroidered in white. The cap is properly labeled and shows excellent use throughout yet remains structurally sound. The cap originates from the famed Barry Halper Collection with Sotheby’s tagging intact.
