History: This was the Golden Age of minor league baseball in Atlanta, and the ’56 Crackers won the pennant, then topped the Memphis Chicks in the post-season playoffs. Clyde King managed Atlanta to a 89-65 record and the Crackers led the league in attendance, drawing 265,578 fans. Atlanta would repeat their pennant and playoff triumphs in 1958 and be promoted to the AAA International League in 1962. Home games were played at fan-friendly Ponce de Leon Park.

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.
