New York City Sports Commission

This is a genuine American Base Ball Cap and was given to me in 2004 by Ken Podziba, New York City’s Sports Commissioner. The Mayor of New York has various Commissioners who run the different City Departments. Ken Podziba has been in the post since Feb 1988 and is responsible for many of the arrangements in getting visiting sports events to New York. He was also very involved in New York’s unsuccessful bid for the 2012 Olympics – hopefully we will see him in London.
