Jacksonville Red Caps

Jacksonville Red Caps

The Jacksonville Red Caps were a team in Negro League Baseball in 1938 and 1941-1942, playing in Jacksonville, Florida at J. P. Small Memorial Stadium in the Negro American League. They moved to Cleveland in 1939 and became the Cleveland Bears. They returned to Jacksonville in 1941 for two seasons.[1] After the war, the Red Caps apparently continued as an unaffiliated Negro league team playing at Durkee Field.[2]

On June 28, 2008, in Pittsburgh, the Tampa Bay Rays and Pittsburgh Pirates honored the Negro Leagues by wearing uniforms of the Jacksonville Red Caps and the Pittsburgh Crawfords, respectively, in an interleague game. The Pirates won the game, 4-3 in 13 innings.
