Los Angeles Angels (PCL) 1946 Authentic Wool Ballcap

Description

WOOL BALLCAP HONORING THE 1946 LOS ANGELES ANGELS OF THE PCL History: When the war ended and the soldiers came home in 1945, minor league baseball came roaring back with them. Crowds flooded back to LA's Wrigley Field in 1946 — the Angels drew over half a million fans as the postwar boom hit baseball harder than almost anywhere in the country. PCL president Clarence "Pants" Rowland used that energy to petition the major leagues for recognition as a third major league. The request was denied, but the Angels kept packing the house anyway, doing LA proud over a decade before the city would get its own big-league squad. Made from genuine wool broadcloth with our signature green satin underbrim, this hat is a recreation of the on-field ballcap worn by the 1946 Los Angeles Angels
