Description

1999 All-Star Game hat, signed by Hall of Famer Barry Larkin, highlighting a special moment in the careers of two iconic players—Larkin and Tony Gwynn. Both Larkin and Gwynn spent their entire careers with one team, Larkin with the Cincinnati Reds and Gwynn with the San Diego Padres. Larkin, the 1995 NL MVP and a 1990 World Series champion, was making his tenth of twelve All-Star appearances in 1999, Gwynn’s final All-Star Game.


Larkin’s career was defined by his leadership, skill, and loyalty to his team, traits he shared with Gwynn. In 2012, Larkin was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest shortstops in the game. Upon Gwynn's passing, Larkin expressed his admiration, saying, "RIP Tony Gwynn. Not only was he one of the greatest hitters of all time. He was also a great competitor and a great person."


This hat, signed by Larkin, represents not only his All-Star season but also his connection to Tony Gwynn during Gwynn's final All-Star appearance.
