Dwight Evans Rookie-Era Game-Used Hat (KM Pro)
Own a true piece of Boston Red Sox history — a game-used cap worn by Dwight “Dewey” Evans during his rookie or second year in the majors (1972–73). This vintage KM Pro Cap Co. hat was the exact style issued to the Red Sox at the time, making it a textbook example of early-1970s MLB headgear.
What sets this cap apart is the #40 written under the bill — Evans’ original uniform number before he permanently switched to the iconic #24. That detail alone dates the hat specifically to his rookie/sophomore years, making it one of the rarest forms of Evans memorabilia in existence.
The hat shows strong, authentic game use throughout, consistent with on-field wear. KM Pro caps from this era are legendary among collectors for their craftsmanship and are now nearly impossible to find in game-used form, especially tied to a player of Evans’ stature.

Dwight Evans went on to become an eight-time Gold Glove winner, three-time All-Star, and a Boston Red Sox Hall of Famer, remembered as one of the most complete right fielders of his generation. To have a rookie-era, game-used KM Pro hat directly tied to him is a once-in-a-lifetime collecting opportunity.

This is an investment-grade, museum-quality piece that belongs at the center of any serious Red Sox or vintage baseball memorabilia collection.
