Explore a brief but vibrant chapter of California baseball history with this vintage-inspired Lodi Crushers t-shirt. Based in the heart of wine country, the Crushers played in the California League from 1966-1969 as a Class A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, bringing professional baseball to California's Central Valley.
The team found initial success at Lawrence Park, drawing strong crowds from the local wine-growing community. The Crushers' name cleverly tied into Lodi's famous wine industry. Despite the creative branding and local support, mounting financial pressures and competition from nearby entertainment options in larger cities led to the team's departure after the 1969 season.
This premium t-shirt features a beautifully distressed, vintage-style logo that captures the unique intersection of baseball and wine country heritage. Printed using state-of-the-art direct-to-garment technology on a high-quality Gildan 5000 blank, this shirt offers both style and comfort.

- 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton
- Classic unisex fit
- Available in sizes S-5XL
