The Capeharts was the name of the Fort Wayne Semi-Pro Baseball team which had previously been known as the GE Voltmen in the 1940s. When General Electric dropped their sponsorship of the club, Capehart Television Company stepped in to purchase the naming rights to the team. Capehart Television was part of the Farnsworth Television & Radio Corp. which was owned by Philo Farnsworth, the Fort Wayne-born inventor of the television.
