About This Fitted
New Era is taking collectors back to one of baseball’s most dominant championship runs with this stunning Black Baltimore Orioles Green Bottom 1966 World Series Side Patch 59FIFTY fitted hat, available exclusively at exclusive_fitted for $55. This sharp colorway combines black, navy, blue, and green tones while commemorating the Orioles’ historic first World Series title, when they shocked the baseball world by sweeping the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in four straight games.
The 1966 series was a masterclass in pitching and defense that produced some incredible records. Jim Palmer became the youngest pitcher ever to throw a World Series shutout at just 20 years old, defeating the legendary Sandy Koufax in what turned out to be the Hall of Famer’s final career appearance. Even more remarkable, the Orioles’ historic sweep featured flawless defense as Baltimore became only the second team in World Series history to play error-free baseball, handling all 141 total chances perfectly throughout the series.
Available in sizes 7 1/8, 7 1/2, and 7 7/8, this fitted captures the essence of a championship team that combined youth and veteran leadership to perfection. The side patch serves as a tribute to Frank Robinson’s MVP performance and a pitching staff that held the mighty Dodgers to a record-low .142 batting average, making this release a must-have for collectors who appreciate both classic colorways and championship history.
