A TRIBUTE TO THE 1938 NEWARK EAGLES

History: The Eagles played their inaugural season at Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field in 1935, but moved to Newark just one year later. Co-owned and managed by Effa Manley, the first and only woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Eagles were a powerhouse of the Negro Leagues, winning the NLWS in 1946. The following year, their home-grown star Larry Doby became the second Black player to break the color barrier and the first in the American League.

This ballcap, featuring a cotton twill body and a green satin underbrim, pays homage to the 1938 Newark Eagles with the authentic felt patch eagle logo worn by the team.
