Owner Interview: Cardinals Baseball Hat, ca. 1968
Hear more from the owner of this Cardinals baseball hat, ca. 1968!
PRODUCER: Are you a Cardinals fan?
GUEST: I'm not a sports person. This is- I'm not. My grandfather took me, he had high hopes. I was more interested in the cotton candy and the popcorn than I was in the baseball. My grandfather termed himself a baseball nut, not a baseball fan. So, he had a grandson who lived up in St. Louis, and he would go up as he was older and retired and visit them periodically in the summer but, particularly if the St. Louis Cardinals had a chance of being in or were in the finals. One year, he came back with this. We really came to find out if it was worth passing on to someone in the family or should we just do it as a garage sale item. So, come to find out, the tickets are worth about 150 to 200 each and the hat is around 300 or 400. You know so, Grandad, wow. I mean who would have thought. We're keeping the hat, it's not a garage sale item. We'll put a little information on it for the uh kids and if they show interest and they better get- mature a little so- then maybe it'll go to them.
