It's been just over a month since I've last featured a snapback but now I feel compelled to write about one after learning some interesting information while researching the origins of the Casper Ghosts last week. I learned that the Pioneer League team was originally known as the Butte Copper Kings, which is a cap that I own and haven't featured yet… until now!
I don't know who #44 was on the Copper Kings but I can think of three spectacular players who did have this uniform number: Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and Reggie Jackson. Another connection to this number is the United States presidential transition from the 44th president to the 45th begins next week! Please no political comments. Just kidding; no one comments here!
Almost everyone in the baseball world is feeling happy for Murray as his lifelong dream of a Cubs World Series championship came to fruition this week. Here's a fun article that sums up his journey of limitless fandom this year.

The Copper Kings wore this cap logo from 1989 through 1995 however it's clear this one is from the earlier end of that range.
