UNI WATCH has uncovered a Major League Baseball piece of trivia. Among baseball history buffs it is commonly known that the A’s coaches and managers wore White caps during the Charlie Finley era. It comes up all the time, and it even figured prominently in a piece that appeared on Uni Watch six weeks ago. But the A’s players never wore White caps during Finley’s Green and Gold reign. Whether in Kansas City or in Oakland, players during the Finley era always wore Green caps – or did they? The shot above is from a 1967 A’s/Tigers game in Kansas City. The two A’s in the photo are pitcher Blue Moon Odom and first baseman Ray Webster. As you can see, they’re both White-hatted. Via Strictly Fitteds
