In 1996 when the New York Yankees played the Atlanta Braves for the world series title, there was a new patch that debuted on the left side of the players hats. It was the first time that a patch was added to the players uniforms during the series, ever. The patch commorates the fall classic by showing the current year along with a funky baseball diamond design. The patch seem to be a hit amongst the fan's favorite and every year. So every year since 96' MLB has tried to re-capture that moment for every world series classic. This year MLB has introduced a different patch on the current palyoff team's hats commorating the 2012 playoffs before the world series. Now I'm sure that they will also have a world series hat for the 2 winners of the National and American Leagues when the series starts in a few weeks, but I'm really hoping that one day they can bring back the grey bottom hats which seem to be a better quality fit for fitted hat fans that love New Era caps. But until then for now you can purchase your 2012 Postseason hat at your nearest sports merchandise store like Lids, Modells, Footlocker and MLB.com
