Available exclusively at exclusive_fitted for $49.99 in size 7 7/8, this piece captures the essence of late 70s baseball when the game was transitioning into a new era.

The 1978 season was absolutely electric, featuring one of the greatest pennant races in baseball history between the Yankees and Red Sox, culminating in Bucky Dent’s legendary home run in the one-game playoff at Fenway Park. That same year saw remarkable individual achievements, including Ron Guidry’s incredible 25-3 record with a 1.74 ERA for the Yankees, and the emergence of rookie sensations across both leagues.
