April 29, 1986
Roger Clemens and the Boston Red Sox defeat the Seattle Mariners by a score of 3-1.
Only 13,414 attend at Fenway Park in Boston.
Clemens strikes out twenty Mariners in nine innings.
However, this post is not about Clemens, the Sox, or the twenty K's.
Whenever I see a highlight of this game or even of Roger Clemens, I think of this cap:
Whenever I see a highlight of this game or even of Roger Clemens, I think of this cap:
Currently on display at Cooperstown in the Baseball Hall of Fame,
it is not a New Era Cap...but made by Devon Professional Cap Company.
Devon was formed in 1977 with some of KM Pro's equipment and former employees.
Devon is on the left, KM Pro model on the right.
Can you tell the difference?
The Devon logo is flat and larger while KM has some raised embroidery.
Each has eight rows of stitching on the visor.
Devon lasted until the mid 80's.
Records indicate that only the Mets and Red Sox wore them on the field, but other teams were made.
