Ron Blomberg


Ron Blomberg spent eight years in MLB and has a lifetime average of .293.

He spent most of his time with the Yankees.

In 2007, he managed a team in the Israeli Professional Baseball League.

But wait...he was the first Designated Hitter in MLB history?

On April 6, 1973, in his first plate appearance as a DH, he was walked by Luis Tiant with the bases loaded.



Before I bought this cap, I had no idea who Ron Blomberg was.

I saw an old cap and a logo that I didn't recognize.

The seller had it listed as belonging to Ron Blomberg when he played for the White Sox.

A quick interned search let me know that this is his cap when he played with the Syracuse Chiefs in 1970 and 1971.
