That fall, they faced the Kansas City Monarchs in the first-ever Colored World Series, playing nine games across a grueling back-and-forth series. Hilldale lost five games to four, and spent the whole next season itching for a rematch. They got what they wished for. Hilldale came back the very next year and beat the Monarchs to clinch the 1925 championship — just like you’d write it in a Hollywood script.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with cotton twill and our signature green satin underbrim, this ballcap features a felt appliqué of the 1924 Hilldale script in honor of the iconic Negro League ballclub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebbets Field","offers":[{"title":"ADJ","offer_id":46990997618877,"sku":"23191422","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/1618\/files\/EBSU26CT01035NTRD-WHTRED_58.jpg?v=1783615176","url":"https:\/\/www.ebbets.com\/products\/hilldale-classic-cotton-twill-ballcap","provider":"Ebbets Field","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
