League: Collegiate Baseball
History: Sandwiched between Big Nine Conference (now the Big Ten) championships in 1946 and 1950, 1949 was a notable low-point for the Badgers. Under head coach Arthur Mansfield University of Wisconsin Baseball had an overall record of 8-17, going 3-9 in conference play in ’49 before a significant rebound the following year. The 1950 team went 9-3 during the season, winning their conference and making the program’s lone trip to the College World Series (so far).
This ballcap is currently only available as an adjustable.

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.
