History: The 1960 UNC Tar Heels baseball season started with a 19-0 trouncing at the hands of the Florida Gators. The season ended with a trip to the College World Series after the Heels captured their first ACC title (Atlantic Coast Conference) with a record of 22-7 which included an 11-game winning streak under the superb coaching of Walter Rabb. Wayne Young was uncanny on the mound and outfielders Tommy Saintsing, Johnny Burgwyn, and Gerald Griffin led a fantastic defense which led the ACC in fielding.

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.
