League: Collegiate Baseball
History: The 1964 University of Kentucky Wildcats, coached by Harry Lancaster, featured prominent multi-sport athlete Cotton Nash. A first baseman and left fielder for the baseball team, Nash also played as a small forward on the UK basketball team. Cotton Nash went on to be drafted by the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers in the second round and spent time with the Lakers, San Francisco Warriors and Kentucky Colonels during his basketball career. Nash also went on to make 13 appearances over three seasons in the MLB with the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins. That achievement alone makes Cotton Nash one of only a handful of players to have played in both the NBA and MLB.
This ballcap is currently only available as an adjustable.

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.
