2004 Tacoma Rainiers - Fresh Fitted Friday!!!!

Now that the Pacific Coast League discovery session is in full swing, we need to focus on the Tacoma Rainiers, whose PCL membership goes all the way back to 1960, thus making them longest-tenured member of the league.

It would be foolish to think that the PCL didn't suffer some sort of atrophy when Major League Baseball began populating the west in 1958 but one benefit was cities in Washington state like Tacoma and Spokane were able to gain entry to the league.

Wordmark logos typically don't do it for me but the teal "R" in Rainiers here is incredible. 

Ahh, the famed 2004 satin taping commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 59Fifty cap.  

Of course, I love the tealism on the MILB batterman as well. 

While I certainly appreciate the uniqueness of the 50th anniversary caps looked, I think it should go on the Trading Block because I'm sure someone out there is looking for a rarity such as this one and is willing to part with one of the caps on my Wish List.

As always, thanks for coming back to read about baseball hat geekery. I've got comments disabled here so if you'd like to discuss a trade or simply just chat about hats, please feel free to connect via the following social sites:
