What is the history of baseball caps?
Baseball caps were not accepted in people’s lives at first, and were considered only special items for athletes. In 1839, the first-ever baseball game was held in Goupas, New York. In 1860, professional baseball players began to appear in the United States. In 1871 the United States established the “National Organization of Professional Baseball Players”. In 1876 the organization changed its name to the “American Baseball Association”. Another national professional baseball organization was established in 1881, which later became the “National League of Professional Baseball.” The first championship game between the two organizations, the “World Baseball Championship,” was held in 1884. Since then, in 1910, then-President William Howard Taft officially approved baseball as the “national game” of the United States.
As a result, baseball caps have also become popular in various baseball teams. At first, the players were just trying to block the sun. In the future, regardless of the weather, people will wear baseball caps as long as they play. Baseball was introduced to Japan from the United States in 1873. The Japanese professional baseball team was founded in 1934. The baseball cap was also introduced to the Japanese baseball team. After World War II, baseball quickly developed in various European countries. Baseball has been played in more than 100 countries and regions on five continents. Baseball caps are popular all over the world, but only limited to baseball players. People also do not regard baseball caps as items in life. The baseball cap also became the iconic decoration of baseball players at that time.
