Why is the year 1937 on the back of my Red Sox Hat?

Question

I bought a new Boston Red Sox hat. Here is a little pic - http://www.lids.com/pid/20007160. It's called the Hall of Famer franchise hat. I can't figure out the relevance of 1937. In 1937, the Red Sox finished 3rd so it was no magical year. Ted Williams didn't start playing until 1939. I thought it had something to do with the Hall of Fame but that didn't open until 1939 as well. Someone help! I hate not knowing!

Answer 1

did you get it at the bus station? maybe that's why?
