League: United States League
History: The mother of all research challenges, the United States Baseball League was an attempt to do what the Federal League did two years later, which was establish a "major" league independent of the organized baseball structure. New York's entry played at the Bronx Oval, but had folded by June 5th. The Pittsburgh Filipinos were at the top of the standings when the league collapsed.

Measuring Guide
We offer three kinds of ballcap visors:
Pre-1940 ballcaps were made with soft visors so players could fold them up and put them in their back pockets. Later visors were done in standard (stiff visor) or short (also a soft visor). Check the product details to see which type of visor each cap has.
