About This Fitted
New Era’s Oakland Athletics Battle Of The Bay 1989 World Series 59FIFTY fitted hat brings one of baseball’s most dramatic championship runs back to life. This premium fitted features a striking tiramisu navy gray under brim colorway that perfectly complements the classic A’s green and gold, while the commemorative 1989 World Series side patch celebrates Oakland’s dominant sweep of their cross-bay rivals. Available at ecapcity for $54.99 in sizes 7 1/8 through 7 3/4, this fitted captures the essence of what became known as the “BART Series” between the Athletics and San Francisco Giants.
The 1989 World Series was unlike any other in baseball history, not just because the A’s never trailed at any point during their four-game sweep, but because the legendary 1989 World Series was interrupted by the devastating Loma Prieta Earthquake. Game 3 was postponed for 10 days, the longest delay in World Series history, and in a surreal moment that perfectly captured the chaos, Jose Canseco was spotted pumping gas in full uniform after players had to take a 90-minute detour home due to bridge collapses. Dave Henderson absolutely torched the Giants in Game 3 alone, launching three home runs including two solo shots in consecutive innings, while World Series MVP Dave Stewart dominated on the mound with a 1.69 ERA across his two victories.
For fitted hat collectors, this piece represents more than just a championship tribute, it’s a commemoration of one of the most unforgettable moments in sports history where Mother Nature temporarily stopped the Fall Classic. The earthquake may have delayed the series, but it couldn’t stop the A’s juggernaut that outscored San Francisco 32-14 overall, making this New Era 59FIFTY a must-have piece that honors both Oakland’s baseball dominance and one of the most resilient championship runs ever completed.
