On the inner leather band is the “McAULIFFE” manufacturers tag. On the top of the cap is the interlocking “NY” embroidered logo. The cap shows nice game-use with sweat and dirt staining inside and appears to have no alterations of any kind. It is accompanied by a letter on NY Yankees stationary dated 1/18/1951. It reads in part, “sending you that Yankee baseball cap you requested with our compliments. Hope your youngster wears it in health.” At the bottom is “This cap was on Rizzuto’s head in 1950 season – its for young Scooter” written in pencil. Also accompanied by an envelope postmarked 1/16/1951.
