No Brooklyn fan in the world needs to be reminded about the almost mythic significance of a game-worn Dodgers cap attributed to 1955 the year when the excruciating concept of "wait until next year" was finally laid to rest. And in this instance the cap was worn by the skipper of that history-making ball club the Hall of Famer Walt Alston. The stunning Dodger blue cap comes from Alston's personal collection and has the Tim McAuliffe label at the back of the headband with Pro KM stamping nearby and Size 6 5/8 next to that with significant wear visible in the headband including some light cracking throughout. The historic cap boasts the famed embroidered Olde English "B" on the front in white embroidery; there is virtually no fraying of stitching and a single hole visible on the front panel. Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from the Family of Walter Alston.
