South Africa Team baseball cap
South Africa Team baseball cap made of 14% wool and 86% polyester, coloured green. 'South Africa' is embroidered on the crown in yellow thread.
Prior to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Australia had to qualify to compete in the baseball tournament. After the host nation automatically qualifying, two spots were available each to European, American and Asian teams, while the final spot was available to the winner of a playoff between the Oceania Champions and the African Champions. Australia won this contest, depriving South Africa of its first opportunity to compete in Olympic baseball.
