HOF 2009 Induction Cooperstown Hat
Commemorative hat from the 2009 Hall of Fame induction honoring Joe Gordon, Jim Rice, and Rickey Henderson—fellow greats recognized during Gwynn’s post-playing era.
Description
Hat commemorating the 2009 National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown, honoring three legendary players: Joe Gordon, Jim Rice, and Rickey Henderson. The ceremony held special meaning for Tony Gwynn, who had played alongside Henderson on the Padres. Their careers famously intersected on October 7, 2001—Gwynn’s final Major League game—when Henderson recorded his 3,000th hit. This cap is a tribute not only to the Hall’s newest inductees that year, but also to the bonds and shared milestones that connect baseball’s all-time greats.
Dimensions: One size adjustable.
All dimensions are approximate.
Disclaimer: Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the item’s authenticity as a career artifact. This item features a silver OVD, verifying its authenticity through the Tony Gwynn Estate. A TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site to witness its awarding, which is why this item does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.
