New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera wore this navy Yankees cap during the 2006 MLB season, his 12th season in the Major Leagues. Rivera flaunted his Hall of Fame bona fides yet again in 2006, saving 34 games with a miniscule ERA of 1.80. The Panama-born reliever made the sixth of his 13 career All-Star Games in 2006, providing the anchor at the end of the 97-65 Yankees pitching staff.

This New Era ballcap is a size 7 ¼. The Yankees interlocking “NY” logo is embroidered in white on the front of the cap, and a MLB logo patch is sewn on the back. “Dios te Bendiga”, which in English means “God Bless You”, is written in black marker on the underside of the brim. This cap comes with a MLB Authenticated hologram (BB 222040), which authenticates the cap as “team issued”, a common designation for items collected after the last game of a team’s season. Additionally, this cap comes with a LOA from Yankee-Steiner Collectibles, which authenticates the cap as game used.
