More than 70 Minor League Baseball clubs, including all 30 Triple-A affiliates, will be participating in the “Stars & Stripes” cap program throughout the upcoming Independence Day holiday weekend. The caps for the 72 clubs were produced by the New Era Cap Co. and will have the American flag etched into each team’s logo. In the case of the Vancouver Canadians, a Maple Leaf design will be used instead of the “Stars & Stripes” one. The caps will be available for purchase at participating clubs’ ballparks, as well as on some of their web sites.
