Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>If that's the case, you've got it. The metal doesn't look that expensive- is it silver even?- you would think a genuine medal given to the players would be gold. Not sure that is something the team gave to its players.

Posted By: <b>Keith O'Leary</b><p><P>I was hoping to pin down a year,&nbsp;whether or not it was given out by the league etc, without giving out too much information. Not knowing anything about World Champion medals, I wasn't sure&nbsp;if these were unique to the year they were earned (not seeing a visible year on the medal I thought might support that thinking), or somewhat generic and similar looking, given out over a number of years.
