About This Fitted
New Era delivers a stunning tribute to one of baseball’s most improbable championship runs with this 59FIFTY Los Angeles Dodgers 1988 World Series Patch Hat in olive and ivory. This premium fitted cap commemorates the Dodgers’ miraculous World Series victory over the heavily favored Oakland Athletics, featuring the official 1988 World Series patch prominently displayed on the side. The unique olive and ivory colorway gives this classic championship piece a fresh, contemporary feel while honoring one of the most dramatic October performances in baseball history.
The 1988 World Series will forever be remembered for Kirk Gibson’s legendary walk-off home run in Game 1, limping around the bases after connecting off Dennis Eckersley while battling injuries to both legs. What many fans don’t know is that Gibson was so hurt he couldn’t even take batting practice before the game, and Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda had already told reporters that Gibson wouldn’t be available to play. The Dodgers went on to upset the Athletics in five games, with Orel Hershiser capping off his Cy Young season by earning World Series MVP honors after throwing a complete game shutout in the clinching Game 5.
For collectors, this fitted represents more than just another championship hat, it’s a piece that captures the essence of believing in the impossible. Available now at Hat Club in sizes 7 through 8 for $55, this olive and ivory tribute stands out in any collection while honoring a World Series that proved heart and determination can overcome any odds. The 1988 Dodgers’ championship remains one of the most beloved in franchise history, making this commemorative fitted a must-have for any serious Dodgers collector.
