Mystery Caps of Mexico – Centro Union Authentic Wool Ballcap

LIMITED EDITION RE-CREATION OF THE CENTRO UNION TEAM BALLCAP CIRCA 1919 History: A few years ago we were researching some Mexican baseball history when we stumbled across a large cache of black and white photos, mostly from the 1920s and earlier. Although most of the photos were uncaptioned save a team name, we were able to dig up additional sources and some of our knowledgeable customers even helped fill in a few gaps. We now know that these photographs represented a time when baseball exploded in the Mexico City area. The teams represented were mostly from civic and governmental organizations and the military, with a few early professional teams included.  We’re proud to release the third capsule in our “Mystery Caps of Mexico” collection, featuring six caps never before available through Ebbets, or anywhere else. They have been produced in very limited quantities for a limited time only, guaranteeing that you will have a true collector’s item. Made from genuine wool broadcloth with an embroidered felt patch logo, this is a recreation of the ballcap worn by the Centro Union club. The team were members of the Centennial League, an early attempt to create an organized professional league in Mexico. — Jerry Cohen, Founder
