1989 All-Star Game Fitted: New Era Drops Metallic Sky Angels Tribute

New Era just dropped a stunning tribute to one of baseball’s most memorable mid-summer classics with the Anaheim Angels 1989 All Star Game Metallic Sky 59Fifty Fitted Hat. This grey and blue beauty commemorates the legendary All-Star Game held at Anaheim Stadium, featuring that iconic 1989 All Star side patch that instantly transports you back to a game that changed everything. Available now at capsule_hats for $55 in sizes 7 through 8, this fitted captures the magic of a contest that elevated the All-Star Game from exhibition to must-see television.

What made the 1989 game so special? Picture this: Bo Jackson stepping into the batter’s box for the leadoff at-bat and absolutely crushing a home run to center field while the U.S. President watched from the stands, earning him MVP honors in a 5-3 American League victory. The game featured an incredible 12 future Hall of Famers, and here’s a wild stat that shows how baseball has changed, Mark Gubicza had already thrown 161 innings before the All-Star break that year and would finish with 255 total innings, compared to today’s ace Gerrit Cole who had only managed 109 innings at the same point in 2024. Even the Home Run Derby was memorable, ending in a tie between Eric Davis and Rueben Sierra that was so entertaining it convinced MLB to start broadcasting the derby live starting in 1990.

For Angels collectors and fitted enthusiasts, this release represents more than just team pride, it’s a piece of baseball history when the franchise hosted one of the most significant All-Star Games ever played. The metallic sky colorway perfectly captures that California summer vibe, while the 1989 side patch serves as a conversation starter for any true baseball fan who appreciates the game’s golden moments. With Doug Jones sealing the victory by getting Tony Peña to ground into a game-ending double play, this was the All-Star Game that made the mid-summer classic cool again.
