History: The Asahi were the most popular Vancouver baseball club between the first and second World Wars. The Japanese-Canadian team were known for "brainball" - winning games based on a strategy of bunting and stealing bases. Apart from winning ten senior baseball championships from 1919 - 1940, they were forced to disband in 1942.

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.
