Chris and Mark --

That's a lot of hats! And very cool!

Not as old as many of the hats on this great thread, but here are some pics of the hat that Randy Johnson very likely wore in his ML debut.

It was given by the Expos equipment manager that befriended a young Mets fan in NY immediately after The Big Unit won his 1st ML game & 1st strikeout against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Montreal.

Here are some great Nolan Ryan game used hats from when he played on the Angels (1976), Astros (1981 and 1985) and Rangers (1993).
All hats have impeccable provenance.
Enjoy!

Mark, your collection never ceases to amaze me. I like the Wally Post cap in particular — it's a style that has eluded me so far, although I have c. 1960 and c. 1970 Indian caps that look practically the same. It's amazing how often the Indians copied uniform and cap ideas from the Reds. The Dodgers, Giants and Braves caps are all real beauties.

Scott, I'm a huge Ryan fan who grew up watching him pitch many times, including the first time he pitched in spring training in 1972 when I was 11. I recently saw a photo of him from spring training '72, and he was wearing the 1971 Angels cap with the lower case "a." I wonder if that cap still exists? That would be quite a find.

It's a crying shame that the Washington Nationals don't wear Expos caps and jerseys more often. They could even turn the "M" upside down and it would become a "W."

Here's are 1967 and 1969 A's caps worn by John "Blue Moon" Odom, a mid-1960s Seattle Angels cap, and a 1965 Astros cap worn by Don Larsen ...

Jaw-dropping Randy Johnson and Nolan Ryan Caps, Scott! So amazing to see those incredible G/U caps from all of Ryan's teams. Epic!

And Chris.... that's such an awesome and rare collection of "type caps". I especially love the Seattle Angels. Such a scarce and beautiful style!
