This is an outstanding game-worn and autographed Baltimore Orioles cap from Hall of Famer Eddie Murray from the mid-1980's when the great star was in the middle of his legendary career that would produced 504 home runs 3255 hits and 1917 runs batted in and a legacy that earned him the monicker "Steady Eddie." So steady in fact that he managed to join the 500 Home Run Club without ever hitting 40 home runs in a season the only man in history who ever managed that.
The famed "Smiling Bird" logo appears on the front of the cap in blazing Orioles orange and black. On the inner band is the manufacturers tag the MLB logo tag and the adjacent Size 7 1/2 flag tag. The cap shows excellent game-use with heavy sweat staining on the inner band and dome and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Murray has signed in black marker on the orange brim.
Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from the Orioles Scouting Director.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
The item in this lot comes from the personal collection of longtime MLB executive Tom Giordano. After a very brief playing stint at 2nd base for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1953 Giordano moved on to a coaching managing and scouting career in baseball that is now 66 years and counting (began in 1948 in minor leagues). He was Director of Scouting and Player Development for the Baltimore Orioles from 1976-1987 before moving on to similar baseball operations positions with the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers. In 2007 Giordano was named East Coast Scout of the Year.
