Herriman Saturday

June 12 1909 — Frank “Cap Dillon, manager of the Angels, makes his appearance in Herriman’s “Guess Who” series.

What I found of curiosity value in this cartoon is that apparently even in 1909 baseball caps had those neat little circular air holes in them. Wonder when they originated? I googled “evolution of the baseball cap” and got only a bunch of half-assed links, none of which explained much of anything. So hey, you researchers out there, is there an opportunity to make a rare *new* contribution to the history of baseball here?
