History: Our research turned up a fundraising game played at the Polo Grounds in 1919 between the Actors and the Songwriters. The Thespians defeated the Songwriters and raised $15,000 for their charity. One hundred boxes at $100 each were sold to notable New Yorkers such as Henry Morgenthaul and Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert. The Police Glee Club, Hebrew Orphan Asylum band, and many Vaudeville entertainers also appeared at the event.

Our caps faithfully replicate historic professional baseball caps from 1900 to 1970 and fit differently than modern caps. Try wrapping a piece of string around your head where a cap would naturally fit and then measure the string to find your size.

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.
