Rickey Henderson’s Game-Used Cap and Cleats: A Testament to Baseball Greatness

An Iconic Piece of Baseball Memorabilia

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game and its legends like the game-used artifacts of Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson. This offering includes a cap and cleats that are not only emblematic of Henderson’s illustrious career but also a testament to his enduring legacy in Major League Baseball.

The Cap: A Symbol of New York Mets Pride

The cap, adorned with the iconic Mets “NY” logo on the front and the “MLB” logo on the back, is a piece of history in itself. Inside the rear sweatband lies the New Era manufacturer’s tag, flanked by a size “7 1/4” tag on the right and an “Authentic Collection” tag on the left. Henderson’s signature graces the bill of the cap in silver marker, accompanied by the inscription “1999 Game,” a nod to its game-used status. In our expert opinion, the signature rates an impressive 8, adding to the cap’s allure and value.

The Cleats: A Testament to Speed and Skill

Complementing the cap are a pair of Reebok-manufactured black cleats, size “9 ½”, that echo Henderson’s legendary speed and agility. The player number “26” is inscribed on the manufacturer’s tag in black marker, a personal touch that connects these cleats directly to Henderson. Each cleat bears Henderson’s signature on the outside ankle, inscribed with “2000 Game,” and both signatures collectively rate an 8. The presence of Henderson holograms on the backs of both cleats further authenticates these remarkable pieces.
