Phil Rizzuto’s Iconic Game-Worn Cap: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Figure in Baseball

Phil Rizzuto, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994. As a seven-time World Series champion and recipient of the American League MVP award, Rizzuto’s legacy is etched in the annals of baseball history. His number “10” has been immortalized by the New York Yankees, a testament to his enduring impact on the franchise.

The Cap: A Testament to Rizzuto’s Legacy

This remarkable cap, once worn by the legendary Phil Rizzuto, is a rare and coveted piece of baseball memorabilia. On the inside of the sweatband, a “TIM McAULIFFE INC.” manufacturer’s tag and a “PRO CAP KM” stamp are prominently displayed. Despite the deterioration of the sweatband and the absence of materials inside the brim, the cap retains its historical significance. The player number “10” is inscribed on the underside of the brim, a personal touch that connects this artifact directly to Rizzuto himself.

Signature and Authenticity

Adding to its allure, Phil Rizzuto’s signature graces the underside of the brim, penned with a finesse that, in our opinion, rates a 7 overall. The front of the cap proudly displays the iconic “NY” logo in white stitching, a symbol of the Yankees’ storied legacy. This cap is properly tagged, was presented to us player-worn by Rizzuto and in our opinion, shows appropriate wear. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and an additional JSA auction house LOA, further cementing its authenticity and value.
