New York Yankees Team Signed Hat from the 1996 World Series

Circa 1996, PUMA one size fits all New York Yankees baseball cap with multiple signatures including Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte, 1996 Official Major League Baseball World Series Program.

The 1996 World Series was significant because it marked the New York Yankees’ first championship in 18 years, ending the franchise’s longest title drought since the Babe Ruth era. Facing the defending champion Atlanta Braves, the Yankees overcame losing the first two games at home to win four straight, clinching the series in Game 6 at Yankee Stadium. This victory not only restored the Yankees to baseball’s pinnacle but also launched the team’s late-1990s dynasty, which would capture four World Series titles in five years under manager Joe Torre.

Hat has wear and tear from age and wear, sweat stain on headband with mild soiling on outside, program has tear to lower left hand side at the spine with minor creasing and edge wear.
