an arcuate cap support forming an arcuate opening for receiving a first baseball cap, wherein the first baseball cap further comprises a dome and bill, wherein the cap support is attached to a substantially vertical surface and wherein the first baseball cap is supported by a top surface of the cap support, wherein the top surface of the cap support holds the first baseball cap substantially parallel to the substantially vertical surface, wherein the first baseball cap leans away from the substantially vertical surface and wherein a top edge of the top surface of the cap support supports only the dome of the first baseball cap so that a shape of the bill of the first baseball cap is not altered, wherein the cap support is wider than the bill of the first baseball cap and configured to accept the bill of the first baseball cap when the bill of the first baseball cap is flattened out.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cap support receives and supports the bill and dome of the first baseball cap, wherein the first baseball cap leans away from the substantially vertical surface so that a bill and dome of a second baseball cap inserts immediately behind and above and into the bill and dome of the first baseball cap on the cap support so that the dome and bill of the first baseball cap supports the dome and bill of the second baseball cap to form a stack of baseball caps in the cap support so that a shapes of the bills of the first and second baseball caps are not altered.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cap support is made of a flexible material.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cap support is made of an inflexible material.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the arcuate cap support further comprises a top edge and a front wall surface, wherein a scooped out portion is formed on the top edge of the front wall surface of the cap support wherein the scooped out portion receives and supports the first baseball cap.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising:
hooks attached to the cap support for hanging accessories.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cap support has holes drilled in it so that the cap support is configured to be attached with screws to the substantially vertical surface.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the cap support has a straight upper edge for receiving the bill of the first baseball cap, wherein the dome of the baseball cap rests on the straight upper edge of the cap support.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the cap support has a straight upper edge having a scooped out portion for receiving the first baseball cap, wherein the baseball cap rests on the scooped out portion of the straight upper edge of the cap support.
