The most common photo of Rose (it's on his 1973 Topps card, and it's the pic used in the facepack) shows him wearing a 1971 Angels cap (with lower-case "a", as discussed in the Roseboro post), even though he wasn't traded until that winter, and joined the Angels in 1972. (My Metsies made this really awesome deal to get Jim Fregosi, who was gonna totally solve the third-base problem…*sigh*. Kill.Me.Now.)

Eventually, the Seraphim did get around to giving Rose the correct cap, with the capital "A" on it. For a pic (and facepack image) of Rose in chronologically-appropriate headgear, look no farther.
