A Glimpse into Baseball’s Golden Era

Selkirk’s remarkable achievements include being a 2-time All-Star and a 5-time World Series Champion, with a career batting average of .290. His contributions to the Yankees’ legacy are immortalized in this exquisite piece of baseball memorabilia.

The Cap: A Testament to Excellence

This iconic cap, worn by Selkirk himself, is a relic of baseball history. The Spalding label inside the back of the leather sweatband, accompanied by an adjacent size 7 tag, speaks to its authenticity and vintage charm. The name “G. Selkirk” is elegantly stitched into the back of the band in cursive, a personal touch that adds to its allure. The interlocking “NY” on the crown, embroidered in white, is a symbol of the Yankees’ storied tradition and Selkirk’s indelible mark on the team.
