The Philadelphia Athletics donned a horizontally striped “pill box” cap from 1909 through 1914. The old-fashioned style evidently worked wonders as Connie Mack’s club won four American League pennants and three World Series Championships during the six years the cap was worn. The distinctive caps can be seen on the Hall of Fame plaques of three members of this Athletics dynasty: Frank Baker, Chief Bender, and Eddie Plank. The striped “pillbox” cap also made a comeback in 1976 when five National League clubs celebrated the “Senior Circuit’s” 100th anniversary by adopting the nostalgic style. While the Reds, Mets, Phillies and Cardinals wore the caps during the centennial season alone, the Pittsburgh Pirates retained the style from 1976 through 1986, including their Championship season of 1979.<br /><br />http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/caps.htmKbrewster/90https://www.blogger.com/profile/05202730490253624117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-38078960409247001982011-09-29T02:03:12.174-04:002011-09-29T02:03:12.174-04:00I never knew any other team wore those hats.

It's going to be the Rangers and whoever comes in second this year.Play at the Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231140141558021698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-48910507929919297322011-09-28T20:36:08.047-04:002011-09-28T20:36:08.047-04:00Squarer?
