Introduction to a Baseball Icon

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few names resonate with as much fervor and nostalgia as Billy Martin. Known for his fiery spirit and strategic acumen, Martin’s legacy as a player and manager is immortalized in the annals of Major League Baseball. We are honored to present a unique collection that includes a manager-worn cap and a signed baseball, both of which are imbued with the essence of this legendary figure.

The Manager-Worn Cap

This navy blue cap, adorned with the iconic “NY” logo embroidered in pristine white stitching, is a testament to Martin’s tenure with the New York Yankees. On the inside sweatband, a “New Era” manufacturer’s tag and an MLB “Authentic Diamond COLLECTION” tag affirm its authenticity. The player number “1,” inscribed on the underside of the brim, further personalizes this remarkable piece. Presented to us as manager-worn, the cap shows appropriate wear, a silent witness to the countless games and strategic decisions that defined Martin’s career.

• Authenticity: Features “New Era” and MLB tags.
• Personalization: Player number “1” written on the brim.

The Signed Baseball

Accompanying the cap is a “Rawlings” manufactured OAL baseball, signed by Billy Martin himself. The autograph graces the sweet spot, a coveted location for any signature, and in our opinion, it rates a 7 overall. The baseball is in excellent (EX) condition, preserving the integrity of both the signature and the ball itself. This piece is not merely a collectible; it is a tangible connection to the passion and intensity that Martin brought to the game.
