"No matter how great you were once upon a time — the years go by, and men forget,” - W. A. Phelon in Baseball Magazine in 1915. “Ross Barnes, forty years ago, was as great as Cobb or Wagner ever dared to be. Had scores been kept then as now, he would have seemed incomparably marvelous.” -
I know that the uniform is from 2000 because of the patch, but so far I can't find any specific information regarding the white cap. -
I believe the white hat shown in the picture was the batting practice hat of that era....2000.Comment

Maybe it was a cap worn on Sundays? I don't think MLB teams were wearing BP games yet in 2000. Just a guess though. I also think players grabbed whatever was close for the posed pics on older cards. Could have been a ballpark employee cap or something."I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it." - Sandy Koufax.

Only reference I could find to an alternate cap is the hideous (IMO) silver-brimmed cap they wore during 1999. I will keep searching though. Home after a surgery, so I have lots of free time!

Those patches were worn in 1999, not 2000.Originally posted by The Commissioner View Post
1999 was the first year MLB mandated BP caps for all teams. I would assume those were the Dodgers home BP caps. The Dodgers only have ever worn one alt cap and that was the blue and silver model.I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.

Unequivocally, the white hat with the blue bill and button is the batting practice hat of that era, 1999-2001. As a matter of fact, I have one of these hats. Inside, there is the "Authentic" collection label; on the back of the hat is the MLB logo. As a matter of fact, the KC Royals had an almost identical hat...with "Royals" emblazoned on the front. I believe these hats were only around for a year.Comment
