2011 Hall of Fame Induction Hat
Commemorative cap from the 2011 Hall of Fame ceremony, kept by Tony Gwynn as a fellow Hall of Famer and honored attendee.
Description
Tan baseball cap commemorating the 2011 National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown. That year’s class featured second baseman Roberto Alomar, pitcher Bert Blyleven, and executive Pat Gillick. Alomar, who began his career as a teammate of Tony Gwynn in San Diego, was inducted in 2011 after a 17-season career that included 12 All-Star selections. Though Gwynn had been inducted in 2007 with a remarkable 97.6% of the vote, he continued to participate in Hall of Fame celebrations and remained an admired presence among the game’s greatest. This cap represents both a moment in Hall of Fame history and Gwynn’s ongoing connection to the fraternity of baseball legends.
