1) This Pittsburgh Pirates cap was supposedly worn by him when he was an instructor at a baseball clinic in Puerto Rico. It has all the earmarks of a correct Clemente hat except for the number inside "21" is on the underside of the brim rather than up in the netting. The hat was later given as a gift to an Eastern Airlines employee who attended his clinic, circa 1970. It comes with an LOA from his son and copy of a photo of Clemente from that day. The dark gold cap sports a black "P" and a black brim. On the underside of the brim is a "21" in blue ink. Appears to be size 6 7/8 (allegedly the smallest head in baseball). "New Era" tag inside and the interior of the cap shows excellent usage. Comes with copy of a photo (14 x 11") of him giving the clinic. He is cap-less in the photo. Maybe he had already given it away. 2) Lot also comes with a 1964 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Signed Baseball from the same source. It is an Official NL ball with Warren Giles' sig. Comes with 23 Pirates signatures in blue ink. Included: Clemente (9 out of 10), Mazeroski, Veale, Clendenon, Virdon, Cardwell, Blass and Murtaugh. Overall Ex-Mt.
