San Francisco Giants 1958 MLB Authentic Wool Ballcap

Description

THE AUTHENTIC ON-FIELD BALLCAP OF THE 1958 SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS History: Between 1953 and 1963, during what came to be known as the “Decade of Change” in baseball, six teams moved to new cities and four brand new ballclubs joined the majors. The Giants and the Dodgers both moved from New York to California in the same year, and they took their rivalry with them. On opening day in 1958, San Francisco took the field at home against the boys in blue for the first major league game ever played on the West coast. Star Giants pitcher Rubén Gómez threw a complete-game, 8–0 shutout with six strikeouts and zero walks and went two for four at the plate himself, kicking off a new era of baseball in the sunshine state. Ebbets teamed up with Mitchell & Ness to create the Decade of Change Collection, honoring the era with period-accurate ballcaps like this one — handmade in the U.S.A. from genuine wool broadcloth and featuring the flat embroidery style typical of the time.
