Classic navy blue cap has the famed "NY" logo embroidered on the front in white. Interior leather band has "Gehrig L" player identifier chain stitched beside an impressed "Spalding" mark. A small flag tag to one side was presumably a size indicator however age and use has worn away any printed information. The hat remains in outstanding overall condition with a break to the leather band and the very slightest of separations between the brim at either extreme end (where it anchors to the body) being the only flaws worthy of note. Six panel construction and smooth brim (lacking semi-circular stitching) help narrow the period of issue to the 1930s.
Gehrig had already won a pair of World Series Championships with the Yankees by 1930 and in the decade which followed he would help lead them to four more. While playing out his remarkable streak of consecutive games he would dominate the American League throughout the period leading in home runs and RBI three times, winning a rare Triple Crown in 1934, and he earned his second MVP Award in 1936 (his first coming during the Yankees storied 1927 season). He would remove himself from the Yankees lineup in early May of 1939 when the effects of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cut short one of the most celebrated baseball careers of the 20th Century. Gehrig ranks among the most lauded players in the history of the game and his integrity and gentle nature have left an unmatched legacy which is revered to this day.
An exceptional example with regard to condition and among the finest of the small surviving population of important Yankees hats dating to this significant time period known. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX
