History: African-American entrepreneur Ed Bolden transformed the formerly amateur Hilldale club, based in the community of Darby, PA, into a professional squad. Hilldale was one of the founding members of the Eastern Colored League in 1923. They won the first three ECL pennants, and represented the ECL in the first two Colored World Series in 1924 and 1925, losing to the Monarchs in '24 and defeating them the following year. After the collapse of the ECL, the team played in the American Negro League for one year. They played as the Darby Daisies from 1929. This cap is from their final season, 1932.

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.
