VALUABLE KEEPSAKE?

***********************************************************
***********************************************************
Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: 

Here is a photograph of my SALT LAKE CITY "TRAPPERS" souvenir baseball cap, which I suspect is now a priceless (?) collector's item.

For a larger view,
please click on the photograph.
Ain't that a really NIFTY historic souvenir?

I purchased it many, MANY years ago, in 1992, from the concession stand at Derks Field in Salt Lake City, Utah, when attending a home game of the Salt Lake City "Trappers" baseball game.

The Salt Lake City "Trappers" were in the Pioneer League, and in 1992, they set the World's record for winning the most consecutive baseball games.

The baseball from that World record setting game is on display in Cooperstown, New York at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Immediately after setting that World record, in the very next game, the Salt Lake City "Trappers" lost.

The "Trappers" then left Salt Lake City, Utah and began playing for Pocatello, Idaho, as the Pocatello "Posse", and currently, are a farm team, the Ogden "Raptors", playing at Lindquist Field in Ogden, Utah.

Thank you.

1800 Beach Drive, Unit 311
