The player who wore this lid was among the last Dodgers to ever wear Jackie Robinson's celebrated #42. Only two players who donned Dodger blue in their Los Angeles days wore #42, Leon Everett and Ray Lamb, in 1968 and '69, respectively. Combine that with the vintage supplier (McAuliffe/KM Pro) and, either way, you've got a nice old Dodger game wearable.
