Oakland Oaks 1948 Authentic Wool Ballcap

Description

WOOL BALLCAP HONORING THE 1948 OAKLAND OAKS History: The 1948 Oakland Oaks were called the "Nine Old Men" — a roster of veterans well past their prime, managed by Casey Stengel, himself a man still searching for respect after two failed big-league stints. Hall of Famers Ernie Lombardi and Cookie Lavagetto anchored the lineup alongside a scrappy kid named Billy Martin, whom Stengel took a particular liking to. The old men went out and won the PCL championship — Oakland's first pennant since 1927. The following year, the Yankees came calling for Stengel, and his famous dynasty with the pinstripes began. Made from genuine wool broadcloth with our signature green satin underbrim, this hat is a recreation of the on-field ballcap worn by the 1948 Oakland Oaks.
