League: Prison Team
History: It was common in the early 20th Century for penitentiaries to sponsor baseball teams composed of inmates. These teams typically played against amateur and semi-pro squads from their state or local area. Unfortunately not much is known about this particular Nebraska State Prison team beyond a single surviving photograph of the team with their coach from 1923.

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.
