Baseball cap developed with the baseball game, which is a kind of ball game with the bat as the main characteristic. Baseball games are widely carried out in the world and have great influence. It's called "competition meets intelligence." It is especially popular in the United States and Japan and is even called the national sport.

The first baseball cap in the world

In 1839, an American named Doubleday organized the first game that was very much like the modern game of baseball. As an outdoor sport, baseball players often had to face the sun straight in their eyes. Unlike the previous competition, this time the contestants wore special hats to shade themselves from the sun. In order to shield the eyes from the sunlines and thus achieve better results, the brim of the hat was designed to be longer. This is the original baseball cap.

As baseball's influence grew, so did the baseball cap. Nowadays, baseball caps have become a leisure fashion item all over the world. However, baseball caps were not accepted in people's daily life at first. The course of fashion never runs smoothly. For the first hundred years of its existence, baseball cap was only considered to be the special item or equipment of the player.

Short History of the Baseball Cap

In 1839, the first baseball game was played in the town of Gupas, New York. 21 years later, professional baseball players began appearing in the United States.

In 1871, the National Professional Baseball Players Organization was established in the United States, which changed its name to the American Baseball League in 1876. In 1881, another national professional baseball organization was formed in the U.S., later known as the National Major League Baseball. The first championship game between the two organizations was held in 1884, known as the World Baseball Series.

Then, in 1910, The president of the United States at the time, William Howard Taft, approved baseball as the national game of the United States. Baseball caps became popular among baseball teams. At first, players just wanted to keep out the sun. Later, baseball caps were worn whenever the game was played, rain or shine.

The Japanese professional baseball team was founded in 1934. Baseball caps were introduced into the Japanese baseball team, and after World War II, the game was quickly developed in various European countries. Baseball has been played in more than 100 countries and regions on five continents. Baseball caps became popular around the world with baseball.
