I'm a huge fan of these 52's taken at what I presume to be Spring Training. I'm not sure if that's California or Arizona, but I feel safe in asserting that it isn't St. Louis. I'm also a fan of this particular Browns cap that Marsh is wearing in the card. I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a hat collector, but I have more hats than I need, and will probably try to track one of these down. With a 7 1/2 size head, most adjustable hats look goofy and the fitted are the only way I can go. As a result, instead of a closet full of hats from golf courses and department stores, I have what resembles a New Era hat collection. Okay, so maybe I dabble in hat collecting.

I finally found and bought a Browns hat last year and I love it. It's brown and orange but you're right, those white and brown ones are just great. My issue is that I wear a size 8! Try and find cool caps in that size.
ReplyDeleteBTW....the Brownies trained in Burbank, California from the late 40's thru the early 50's.
As a guy that worked in headwear for more than a decade, I understand the struggle you have, wearing a size 8.
DeleteBeautiful card - both the image and the "well loved" condition!
