Digging up the complicated history of the Knickerbocker cap
Sometime in the far distant future, archaeologists sorting out the fossils, relics and artifacts of our society will decide, based on the millions of baseball hat remnants they will discover, that we were a nation of ball players who, in between games, built skyscrapers, highways and shopping malls.
Some say the present ubiquitous cap was first created in 1860 for the Brooklyn Excelsiors , but others claim the New York Knickerbockers, another baseball team, which was the first to wear special uniforms, designed the ancestor of today's hat in 1849. The Knickerbocker version had the distinctive visor, but was made of straw.
The baseball cap was worn almost exclusively by ball players until the mid-twentieth century when non-athletes began to wear it instead of homburgs, fedoras, derbies and berets.

Instead he might be wearing a Knickerbocker or Excelsior cap or maybe Springfield, Ill., had a team called the Springboks or the Spring Chickens.
