The 1860 Brooklyn Excelsior Base Ball Club
The Brooklyn Excelsiors were an amateur baseball team that played in Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 1854, the Excelsior ballclub featured stars such as Jim Creighton, Asa Brainard, and Candy Cummings.
The team is known for originating the "Brooklyn-style" baseball cap, precursor to the modern cap.[4][5] They also were one of the first baseball clubs to undertake a long-distance tour to compete outside their home region.
