On April 22, 1959, a nineteen-year-old infielder making his professional debut went 1-for-4 with a run-scoring single for the Raleigh Capitals. His name was barely known to sportswriters at the time, who occasionally got it wrong in print, but Carl Yastrzemski would go on to a 23-year Hall of Fame career with the Boston Red Sox, winning the Triple Crown in 1967.

Yastrzemski hit .377 for the Capitals in 1959, leading the Carolina League in hits, doubles, and batting average, and was named the league's Player of the Year, an award presented to him mid-game when a contest at Devereux Meadow was paused in the third inning so he could accept it. Raleigh finished the regular season in first place, six and a half games ahead of the Wilson Tobs, only to be swept by Wilson in the best-of-seven playoffs.

The Capitals name had been used by Raleigh teams as far back as the 1920s Piedmont League, and Raleigh had also won Carolina League titles in 1946 and 1947 under an earlier postwar incarnation of the team. After the Capitals' run ended in 1962, the same Raleigh franchise was renamed the Mets, then the Cardinals, then the Pirates, before merging into the Durham Bulls in 1968.

Really great shirt, really thick material
An unexpected pleasant surprise. Really nice quality, minimal shrinkage, and very few wrinkles out of the dryer. Nice, comfortable fit, and for big-but-not-tall guys, the fitment is very presentable. Sleeves aren't crazy long, and the shirt itself isn't so long that you feel like you're wearing a dress. These aren't complaints, but I do want to share two notes that were important to me: 1. If you want a breast pocket, be sure to select the right shirt. There are two different versions, and it's not particularly obvious which is which. 2. The material is thick. Really thick. So the shirt is pretty heavy, and it doesn't breathe very well. For me, this is unquestionably a winter shirt. If, like me, you tend to run a bit warm, this shirt can make you feel like you're wearing a parka.

Great Value from Amazon Essentials
I can’t believe the quality of this shirt given the low price I paid for it. It fits perfectly, looks impressive, and is very comfortable. The shirt has survived two washes so far and looks as good as new. I couldn’t be more satisfied with this purchase.

Too large, length too long
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Runs large, and the length is far too long to wear untucked like in the photos. Always wear a Medium, this fits like a Large. Length of shirt is long and obviously made to be tucked in. You would look ridiculous if you left it untucked. Dont understand why companies still insist on designing shirt to be tucked in when most people dont wear it like that these days

Traditional Grown Man Shirt
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Great cotton, classically-style button down shirt for guys not wanting anything slim fit, this shirt size is legitimate. It’s a nice heavyweight cotton shirt. I don’t think I’d say it was wrinkle resistant but it doesn’t take much effort to press this garment.
